Getting married in New Zealand
* Before Your Wedding
* NZ law requires that all couples who are planning a wedding here complete and lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage Form with a government marriage office or other registered government agency in NZ. If you are from over seas and are planning your NZ wedding with us, please click here to find the relevant legal requirements)
* If either or both of you has been divorced you must fax or post a copy of your divorce papers (a Decree Absolute or equivalent proof of the dissolution of your marriage) and bring the originals with you to NZ.
* If either one or both of you are under 20 years of age please complete the online Notice of Intended Marriage Form then click here to download the Consent of Marriage of a Minor Form. This form will then need to be signed and lodged with your application for New Zealand Marriage licence.
* NZ law does not require you to present copies of passports or birth certificates before your wedding.
* Once you arrive in NZ at least one of you is required by law to sign a statutory declaration in person in the presence of a registered government agency, after which you will receive your marriage license and the papers you will sign on your wedding day. Therefore when planning your wedding you must arrange your itinerary so you arrive in NZ with enough time to do this before your wedding day. Include in your planning enough time to visit the agency on a weekday (Mon-Fri), between 9am and 5pm.
If you are thinking about getting married in NZ over a holiday period or your travel arrangements do not allow enough time prior to your wedding for signing of the statutory declaration, it is also possible to do this in the presence of a Commonwealth representative in your home country.
* On Your Wedding Day
* At your wedding, you will both sign two documents along with two witnesses as required by NZ law (either two of your own guests or if required all our NZ wedding planning packages include arrangement for two witnesses to be present). Your marriage celebrant will return one copy of the signed form to the Central Registry of Marriages in NZ so that your marriage can be officially registered. The other copy will be given to you as a signed, legal record of your marriage.
* After Your Wedding
* After your NZ wedding you will need a formal document to confirm the details and legal validity of your marriage for presentation in your home country. Many countries will accept the form you sign on your wedding day however the majority including Australia, Hong Kong, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the USA, Canada, Indonesia and Singapore require additional documentation as proof of marriage in the form of what is known as a Standard NZ Marriage Certificate. This bears the official stamp of the Registrar of Marriages in NZ. The certificate fee and courier of this to you at home is included in all of our basic NZ wedding planning packages.
If you are from Austria, Norway, France, Germany, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, China, Denmark, Thailand and some other countries your Marriage Certificate will require further verification, please let us know if you are from one of these countries so we can advise you of any additional fees and make the necessary arrangements on your behalf.
