(If using the PDF version, much of the personal information can be filled in by you and your partner in advance on your printout out version and brought to our first meeting)  I then type that info into the official NOIM

The NOIM can also be viewed at the Attorney General's website at:
Australian Government Attorney-General's Department

   

At the 'NOIM' signing, you must produce:
 

• Bride and Groom: Your full name, occupation, address. Birthplace.
• A birth certificate (if born overseas, a foreign passport may be acceptable); and
• If previously married and divorced, a decree absolute of the divorce (NOT just Nisi)
  If divorced in Australia, this is obtained from the Family Court of Australia; or
• If previously married and widowed, a death certificate. (Date of death required)
  (These can be obtained from the appropriate State Registry of Deaths and Marriages)
• If applicable, number of previous marriages, number of children and D.O.B of each). 
   
• Other Info required: (See info on this in the NOIM 'Notes' 1# on page 2)
• Full names of parents. (including mother's maiden-name)  country of birth of both.
• 
  
  There is also Statutory Declaration that must be signed and appropriately witnessed before the wedding can take place. It CAN be signed when we do the NOIM, but The Attorney General has requested that we delay this signing until the week before the ceremony, 'if possible.'
   (I can show you this form when we do the NOIM) It can be signed at a final rehearsal or even on the day of the ceremony  as long as it is signed before the event takes place.
   Not much info required, just full name. It is all about you declaring that you are of marriageable age and that you are not already married (or know of any other impediment etc)  
   I must do the witnessing for the Stat Declaration, not the Chemist etc, as is usual with Stat Decs.)
