Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM)

A Notice of Intended Marriage Form must be lodged within 18 months and not less than one calendar month and one day from the date the marriage is due to take place. (I will arrange this for you at your second consultation. You must produce a birth certificate (if born overseas, an overseas passport is acceptable). If you have been divorced or widowed, a decree absolute of divorce or death certificate must be produced. Photocopies of documents must be certified by a member of the police.

The Declaration
You will both also be required to sign a statutory declaration before me stating that you know of no legal impediment to your getting married.
