The legal requirements for marriage in Australia is exactly the same for a person from overseas, as it is for an Australian citizen. This means that a marriage celebrant will sight the same documents for both partners seeking to be married, irrespective of where they normally live.
One of the documents which is required by many countries is a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage. Many overseas partners seeking to be married in Australia will ask whether this Certificate is required by Australian law. The answer is no.
However, Australian seeking to marry overseas, may find that that country may require them to produce a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage before marriage can take place.
According to Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Certificates of No Impediment to Marriage are issued by the Department when a request is made to that effect.
