Book, change or cancel your ceremony at the Brisbane registry

You can book, change or cancel your ceremony date any time, even before your interview with us.

If you've booked with a private celebrant, civil partnership notary or church, contact them directly (not us).

We will check the dates before contacting you to make payment to book your date and let you know what to do next.

You must submit your completed and signed Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) application plus proof of ID and any other documents to us. Bring these along to your interview appointment. If you can’t come to an interview appointment, you can tell us when completing the request below.

We must receive your NOIM and documents at least 1 month before your ceremony date, or your ceremony will not go ahead.

We will send you an email to let you know what to do next.

You must upload your completed and signed Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) application plus proof of ID and any other documents to us.
