Accredited Interpreters & Translators
If either the bride or groom is not fluent in English to the extent that they may not understand the solemn and binding nature of the relationship they are entering into it will be necessary to use an interpreter to translate the wording of the ceremony into English on the day and assist with completing the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). If the required documents for the NOIM do not have an English translation such as passport or birth, death or divorce certificate these will need to be translated into English by an accredited translator.

A Notice of Intended Marriage must be filled out and lodged with me the authorised marriage celebrant by law at least one month before your wedding date. You can fill it out up to 18 months earlier if you like planning ahead!
If you plan to marry in Australia but live overseas, you still need to lodge the Notice of Intention to Marry with me.
You will need 2 witnesses over 18 years of age to witness your Marriage Certificates for your marriage to be legally valid. You can choose anyone who attends the wedding, and has the capacity to understand the ceremony who is in audible range and is of sound mind.
Marriage Certificate for Identification Purposes and Name Change
When you are married in Australia, the civil marriage celebrant is required to say certain words, according to section 46 of the Marriage Act 1961, to make the ceremony legal and binding.
Monitum or Celebrant Authority - Legal Wording
Celebrant: "I Marilyn Verschuure a Civil Marriage Celebrant am duly authorized by law to solemnize marriages according to law. "Before you Mary Jane Brown and you Peter John Smith are joined in marriage in my presence and in the presence of these witnesses, I am to remind you of the solemn and binding nature of the relationship into which you are now about to enter. "Marriage, according to the law in Australia, is the union of 2 people to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life."
The celebrant is not allowed to alter or change these words except in minor ways that do not alter the meaning of the words. For example, the celebrant must say "a man and a woman" specifically and cannot substitute the words "two people" instead.
Vows - Legal Wording
The following words must be said either at the beginning, middle or end of your personal vows to each other for your marriage to be legally valid. They can also stand alone if you prefer not to make any other vows.
Bride: "I call upon the persons/people here present to witness that I, A.B. take thee, C.D. to be my lawful wedded husband /or spouse.
