Can I Get Married Online?

No, you cannot legally marry online in Australia. What can be done remotely, what must happen in person, and the fastest way to marry on the Gold Coast.

The short answer

No. You cannot get legally married online in Australia.

The marriage itself must happen in person with:

  • both parties physically present
  • the celebrant physically present
  • two witnesses physically present

What can be done remotely?

Some parts of the process can still be done remotely, including:

  • booking
  • asking questions
  • preparing the NOIM
  • in some cases, arranging remote NOIM witnessing by audio-visual link

What still has to happen in person?

The legal marriage cannot happen by Zoom, phone, or proxy.

Also, before the marriage is solemnised, the celebrant must meet separately and in person with each party.
