Notice of Intended Marriage — Simple Ceremonies

Start with your email

On a laptop, desktop or large tablet/iPad (not a phone) enter your email below. We'll then email you a 6-digit code to confirm it's you (no password to remember but secure ;-).
(Note. Use this same process each time you want to log on.)

This is what lets you stop partway through and come back on any device, and it's how we find your Notice once you've lodged it.

Person 1 — your details

Items 1 to 9 of the Notice. Use your full legal names exactly as they appear on your birth certificate or passport — not a shortened or married name.

📷 Scan your ID to fill this in

Photograph or upload your passport, birth certificate, driver licence or proof-of-age card and we'll read the names, date and place of birth, and document number straight off it. Check every field afterwards — a scan is a head start, not the final word.

If you have one, use your passport — even an expired one. It's the only document that proves your name, date of birth and where you were born, all at once, so there's nothing else to scan afterwards.

Person 1's parents

Items 11 to 16. Give each parent's name as it is now, and the name they were given at birth. If you genuinely cannot find out a detail, write unknown — unlike the rest of the form, these items need no statutory declaration.

Person 2's parents

The same six items for your partner's parents.

Person 1 — identity and evidence

Items 19 to 24. Your celebrant completes these boxes on the Notice, but filling them in here means the celebrant can check your documents before the day rather than on it.

Person 2 — identity and evidence

The same evidence for your partner.

Ceremony details

Optional — leave any of these blank if you don't know them yet. You'll sign and have your signature witnessed in the next step, once your Notice has been built.

Your celebrant and ceremony

Item 17, plus the booking box at the top of page 3. Your celebrant can complete these later if you don't have them. Item 18, the date notice received, is filled in when your Notice is actually witnessed — there's nothing for you to enter here.

Full name of celebrantOptional — leave it blank if you don’t know who it is yet.

Ceremony time

Ceremony dateYou can’t marry until one calendar month after you lodge, so this starts at the earliest date allowed.
