Can I Get Married Online in Australia?

No. You cannot have a fully legal online wedding in Australia.

What the Law Requires

For the ceremony itself:

• both parties must be physically present
• the celebrant must be physically present
• two adult witnesses must be physically present

That means the actual marriage ceremony cannot happen by video call, proxy, or online platform.

What Can Be Done Remotely

Some parts of the process can still happen before you arrive in Adelaide, including:

• initial enquiries
• planning meetings
• document review
• some NOIM preparation steps
• booking and payment arrangements

If you are overseas or interstate, start with NOIM Easy and then read our NOIM guide.

Adelaide Practical Advice

If you are searching for an online wedding because you want something fast and simple, what you are usually really looking for is a paperwork-only marriage or simple marriage service.

Those options keep the process minimal while still following Australian law.
