The Registry Book

I will help you with all the paperwork and together we can put together a ceremony that best reflects you.  Your wedding ceremony can be as simple or elaborate as you wish.  I will help you with these aspects.  On the Wedding day I will have a table and chair for the signing and if you want to have a song to walk down the aisle to I can still arrange that to be played through my fantistic PA system.  I will then forward all paperwork onto the Office of BDM in Perth for your marriage to be Registered.

Anyone can marry in Australia as long as they are over 18, and have lodged the wedding at least one month and one day before the wedding date.   This is done by filling out the NOIM form and getting it signed in front of an authorised person (Marriage Celebrant) and getting the NOIM to me (via Fax or registered post) at least one month and one day before the wedding day.

You will need to prove to the celebrant who you are, where you where born and your birth date by using your Original Birth Certificates or if born outside Australia, an overseas passport.  If you have been married before, the Celebrant will need to see a divorce/death certificate.  Before the wedding I will see you and get you to sign a Commonwealth Statutory Declaration (I will write for you so don’t worry).  Then on the wedding day you say your vows, I say my authority and the ceremony is witnessed by 2 people.  I also have some great choices for your ceremony so you can have a ceremony that will reflect you both.

Also if you would like a Fiance letter for immigration purposes I can write that for you too.
