The legal bits The legal things to know about marrying your loved one. Before you get married, you need to apply for a licence. A licence confirms it’s legal for you to marry. It costs $150 if you use a celebrant, and a registry ceremony costs $240 in total You need to arrange your licence at least three working days before you get married. If your wedding does not go ahead, the licence expires after three months. Only one person needs to complete the application but there is information about both people wishing to marry
You can apply online or obtain a paper form from your local courthouse Two people over 18 years must witness the marriage ceremony and sign the Marriage Register and Certificates Once the licence is signed and returned by an officiant, a marriage certificate is issued
