Becoming an Authorised Celebrant

If you want to become a marriage celebrant as a career or calling, that is a separate professional path.

But if the real question is, “Does my friend need to become a celebrant just to marry us?”, the answer is usually no.

For one couple, this is usually easier

• use our paperwork-only legal marriage service
• keep the legal part simple
• involve your friend in another appropriate way if you want

Becoming a celebrant is not a quick shortcut

It involves formal training, approval, legal responsibilities, and ongoing obligations.

If you genuinely want to explore that path, start with the Attorney-General’s Department resources.

If you just want to get married simply, book at paperwork.net.au/book.
