Good news for couples marrying in Queensland

Marriage Celebrants in Queensland have had confirmation from the AFCC (Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants) that Birth, Deaths and Marriages will accept official marriage celebrants as qualified witness to certify copies of identification to support a marriage certificate application sent in with the marriage papers. This will make the process a little easier for the couple as previously they had to go to a JP to certify their ID.

• Applicants for the marriage certificate must be either the bride/groom
• Applicant for the marriage certificate must be signed by either bride or groom
• 3 forms of ID is required by the signee
• 3 forms of ID must be included in the application
• Celebrants signs as ‘Authorised Marriage Celebrant’ print name, celebrant number, date and sign
