What to do

Under Australian law it is mandatory that a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) - 'Form 13 (Regulation 38)' should be lodged with the celebrant no less than one month, and no more than 18 months, from the proposed marriage date. If you are wanting a Victorian Marriage Registry styled ceremony then it is simple to lodge your NOIM at the Melbourne Private Marriage Registry in South Yarra, so that you can be legally married in four weeks time.

Lodging Your Notice of Intended Marriage

Your first step is to lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage with one of the Registered Civil Celebrants at the Melbourne Private Marriage Registry. To do this, you’ll need to either email or phone to book an appointment during administrative hours (typically between 10am–6:30pm on weekdays). You’ll complete the Notice form during your appointment, or you can choose to send it in beforehand to start the lodgement process early.

Key Details About Form 13

Important things to know when lodging a Notice of Intended Marriage (Form 13): once lodged, you’re eligible to book your wedding ceremony after the legal one-month waiting period. Ceremonies can be held 24/7, based on your budget and the availability of the Ceremony Rooms and Civil Celebrant.
