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 one month’s time.

Your first step will be to lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage with one of the Registered Civil Celebrants at the Melbourne Private Marriage Registry. In order to do this you will be required to either email or phone to make an appointment during administrative business hours which are generally between 10am and 7pm on Weekdays.  During that appointment you can fill out all the details required on the Notice of Intended Marriage form and lodge this with the celebrant. It is also possible to send in your Notice ahead of your appointment time in order to start the lodgement process.
