What do I have to bring to our first meeting and what’s all this talk about paperwork?

Nobody likes paperwork, but for your wedding to be legal in Australia it’s a necessary evil.  For our first official meet up, you can pre-fill a Notice of Intended Marriage form, available online here, or we can fill it in together along with your Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage form, also available here. All you’ll need to bring are your original birth certificates and photo ID (driver’s licences, etc) or your passports. If you have been previously married, please bring along your Decree Absolute or Death Certificate of your previous spouse. It’s that simple!
