Getting Married After Divorce

Private celebrants, not a government registry. No fuss, no frills, no wedding. Just paperwork.

Yes, you can get married after divorce in Brisbane.

The main issue is making sure the earlier marriage has legally ended before the new marriage takes place.

What you usually need

You will normally need evidence of the divorce, such as the divorce order.

If the divorce was granted overseas, you may also need:

  • the original divorce documents
  • an English translation if the document is not in English
  • enough time for us to check the paperwork properly

Can we still start now?

Usually yes.

You can often:

  • book the service
  • prepare the NOIM
  • gather your ID
  • organise the rest of the paperwork

But the marriage itself cannot happen until the divorce is final.

If you are still waiting on the divorce

Do not leave everything until the last minute.

You can still use NOIM Easy and get the other documents ready so you are not scrambling later.
