Registry-style ceremonies by civil celebrants, not a government registry office. No fuss, no frills, no wedding. Just paperwork.

How to Get Your Marriage Certificate in Victoria

If you were married in Victoria, the official state marriage certificate comes from Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria.

The simple version

  1. You get married.
  2. The marriage is registered.
  3. You order the official certificate from BDM Victoria.

Do not confuse it with the certificate from the day

The certificate you get on the day is not the same as the official Victorian certificate.

The official certificate is the one most people need for formal admin afterwards.

Where to go

Use the BDM Victoria website for:

  • current fees
  • current turnaround times
  • ordering instructions
  • proof of identity requirements

No fuss. No frills. No wedding. Just paperwork.

Book first, pay the fee, prepare your NOIM with NOIM Easy, and we will confirm the date, time, and place once your paperwork is received and we have checked availability.
