After you are married
On the day of your wedding, you will sign three marriage certificates. Each certificate should be signed by you, your marriage celebrant and two witnesses. Your marriage celebrant will give you one of the certificates as a record of your marriage.
After you are married, your marriage celebrant must register your marriage with the registry of births, deaths and marriages in the state or territory it took place within fourteen days.
The certificate issued by the registry of births, deaths and marriages is required for many official purposes. You should apply for a copy of this certificate from the registry after your wedding.
Only an authorised marriage celebrant can legally perform your marriage.
