Marriage After Divorce in Byron Bay

Yes, you can get married after divorce.

The key point is that the divorce must be final before the marriage happens.

What you need

You will usually need official proof that the earlier marriage has ended.

For many people, that means a divorce order.

If your divorce is still in progress

You can still start the process with us.

That means you can:

• book the service
• prepare the NOIM
• gather the other documents

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

If the divorce happened overseas

You may need:

• the overseas divorce documents
• official translations if they are not in English
• extra advice if there is any doubt about recognition in Australia

Best approach

If your timing is tight, do not leave this until the last minute.

Book early, tell us the situation, and we will explain what documents we need from you. See ID needed to get married for the full document list.

If you are unsure about the legal effect of an overseas divorce, get independent legal advice as well.
