(Fiancé Visa Letters are also available upon request. If you have been asked to provide the Department of Immigration with a Fiancé Visa Letter to support your Prospective Marriage Visa application, this can be obtained immediately after lodging your Notice of Intended Marriage, at your first meeting with the Perth Marriage Office.)
Once all legal paperwork has been lodged (usually within two weeks after the marriage), registered copies of the Marriage Certificate can be obtained from the WA Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages or any local court-house.
The Perth Marriage Office is open 7 Days – Monday to Sunday, for legally recognised weddings in a registry office format.
The first step for all marriages in Australia is to lodge the Notice of Intended Marriage. Bookings can be made here to start the marriage process: Booking Platform
