Registry-style marriages by private celebrants, not a government service. No fuss, no frills, no wedding. Just paperwork.

Marriage After Divorce

Yes, you can get married after divorce.

What we need

Before the marriage can happen, we need evidence that the divorce is final.

This is usually a:

  • divorce order
  • certificate of divorce
  • decree absolute, if it is an older record

If your divorce is still pending

You can still give a NOIM while a divorce is pending.

On the NOIM, the status can be recorded as divorce pending.

But the marriage cannot be solemnised until we have sighted evidence that the divorce is final.

If the divorce happened overseas

We may need to see the overseas divorce documents, and sometimes more supporting material if there is any doubt about whether the divorce is recognised.

If that happens, legal advice may be needed.

Best timing advice

If your divorce is not yet final, do not plan the marriage for a date that depends on wishful timing. Give yourself room for delays.
