Is your overseas marriage recognised in Australia? When it is valid, why it cannot be registered here, translations, and name-change issues.
If you were legally married overseas, that marriage is generally recognised in Australia if:
No. Overseas marriages cannot be registered in Australia.
Your overseas marriage certificate is usually the main proof of the marriage.
If it is not in English, you will usually need an official translation.
Official guidance says some states and territories do not accept overseas marriage certificates if you want to change your name. Check the exact rules of the agency or registry you are dealing with.
