Who needs this Registry Office type of service?
Couples who:
- are requesting a Fiancé Visa Letter for the Department of Immigration for their Prospective Marriage Visa,
- require their marriage to be registered in Australia following a ceremony overseas, in Bali or Thailand for example.
- want a marriage, not a wedding — they do not want the distractions, politics and expense of a big wedding.
- are heading overseas to get married in Bali, and oops! — didn’t realise they needed to get legally wed in Australia to be formally recognised as married.
- want to get the legals done and dusted, and have a big party later.
- are travelling and need to take advantage of the time they have, where they have it!
- have been engaged for 20 years, and if not now, then when?
- are pregnant, and decide they both want the same surnames on the birth certificate.
- think going to the Registry Office in Perth is a hassle.
