Marriage After Divorce in Melbourne

Yes, you can get married after divorce.

The key point is that the divorce must be final before the marriage happens.

What you need

You will usually need:

• your NOIM
• proof of identity
• proof of date and place of birth
• your divorce papers

Can we lodge the NOIM before the divorce is final?

Often, yes.

But the marriage itself cannot happen until the divorce is final.

If your divorce is still in progress, tell us early so the timing can be checked properly.

Australian divorces
