What if we’ve booked our honeymoon overseas and are just under the one month and one day deadline can we still do the forms to get married? Can we shorten the time?
Unfortunately no. You can only shorten the time in exceptional circumstances. This is not usually something that would qualify. You can contact your Local Court or the Registry for further advice. That’s why you should book your celebrant and do your paperwork as early as possible. What if my grandfather is seriously ill and we want to get married urgently? And it’s less than the time deadline for the forms? You have to seek formal approval to shorten the time. You will need medical evidence to support your application. You may get permission as this is a medical request. What about if we are both from overseas? Or my husband is from overseas but we want to marry in Australia? That is ok. As you are overseas citizens from another country we can use your passport. Or we could accept your husband’s passport. What if we have lost our passports, can we still get married? You should apply for new passports. If this is too difficult, such as records being destroyed in a war torn country then
