The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages registers all marriages that occur in Queensland. A marriage must be registered before you can get a marriage certificate.

We also offer an elegant and affordable wedding venue in the heritage listed former Government Printery in Brisbane for stylish weddings at the registry. Many regional Magistrates Courts also conduct weddings.

Before getting married
Before you can be married in Queensland, you need to give at least one month and one day notice of your intent to marry.

Register a marriage
Your celebrant will lodge the necessary documents to register your marriage with us.

Marriage certificate
Apply for a standard or commemorative marriage certificate.

Overseas marriages
Overseas marriages can’t be registered in Queensland. If you intend marrying overseas, we can supply a ‘No record of marriage in Queensland’ document to prove that you are free to marry.

Becoming a celebrant
To conduct marriages in Australia, Celebrants and Ministers of Religion must be registered.
