Can I Get Married Online in Melbourne?
No. You cannot get legally married online in Melbourne or anywhere else in Australia.
What must happen in person
The marriage itself must happen with:
- both parties physically present
- the celebrant physically present
- two witnesses physically present
For a private celebrant marriage, the celebrant must also meet each party separately in person before the marriage.
What you can do online
You can do a lot of the admin online:
- fill out the booking form
- pay the fee
- prepare the NOIM with NOIM Easy
- ask questions by email
- organise documents before the meeting
What you cannot do online
You cannot:
- do the marriage itself by video call
- do a proxy marriage
- skip the in-person legal steps
If you are overseas
You can still start the process from overseas by:
- preparing the NOIM
- having it witnessed correctly for your location
- getting your documents together
- booking ahead
But the marriage itself still happens in person in Australia.
