What Does Registering Your Marriage Mean?
Marriage registration is the legal recognition of your relationship under Australian law. After your wedding ceremony, your chosen marriage celebrant in Sydney will submit all required paperwork to NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM). Once processed, you’ll receive your official marriage certificate, which is essential for name changes, visa applications, and other legal matters.

The process of marriage registration is straightforward when guided by a professional celebrant.
Here are the key steps:
- Lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM): This must be completed at least one month before your wedding day.
- Choose a Registered Marriage Celebrant: Only a legally authorised celebrant can perform the ceremony and submit the paperwork.
- Sign the Marriage Certificates: On your wedding day, you and your witnesses will sign the required documents.
- Paperwork Submission: As your celebrant lodges the signed documents with BDM.
- Official Marriage Certificate: Apply through BDM for your legal marriage certificate to use for passports, banking, and legal identification.
