Overseas Marriages

If you are planning to marry overseas, you need to be aware that laws regarding marriage vary from country to country and legal complications can arise.

After you have decided on the country in which you will be getting married you need to then discuss the marriage laws of that country with a consular official. For contact details, refer to the Index of Consulates.

It is no longer possible to marry in an Australian embassy when overseas. Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade information related to overseas marriages can be viewed at Smartraveller.
