Under Australian marriage law, couples must lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) form with their chosen celebrant at least one month before their wedding. This notice period starts from the date the celebrant receives the correctly completed and signed NOIM—not when the couple books the ceremony or pays a deposit. The list of dates of when you can marry according to when you lodge your NOIM are below.

This guide provides a clear reference for the earliest date you can legally marry based on when you submit your NOIM.

The one-month countdown begins when the celebrant receives the completed and signed NOIM.
In cases where one party cannot sign the NOIM at the time of submission (e.g., they are overseas), the notice period can still commence if the form is signed by one party and contains all required details for both.
However, the missing party must sign the NOIM before the ceremony, in the presence of the celebrant.
Celebrants must ensure the absent party is fully aware of the marriage and that their documents are in order.
This provision must not be misused for “surprise weddings” (see Part 11.1 of the government guidelines).

Each entry in the list below details when you can legally marry based on the date your NOIM is lodged.

Example:

If you submit your NOIM on January 1, the earliest date you can legally marry is February 1.
If you submit your NOIM on July 15, the earliest date you can legally marry is August 15.

This ensures all couples comply with Australia’s legal notice period before getting married.

Refer to the list below to find your correct wedding date based on when you lodge your NOIM.
