Notice of
Intended Marriage
you will need to
complete this as the first step to getting married.
Likewise, if you have misplaced the death
certificate of your previous spouse you should apply
for a new one.
You should apply to Births Deaths and
Marriages in the state in which you were born or in
which the death was registered.
If you have misplaced your divorce
certificate you will need to apply to the Court for
a replacement.
For change of name applications you should
apply to the state of your birth OR if you were born
overseas, to the state in which you are resident.
Change of name by marriage is a personal choice (you
don't have to). It does not require a legal name
change, but if you wish to change your name before
marriage (perhaps to reflect the name you are known
by if that differs from the name on your birth
certificate) you need to start that process
immediately as it can take quite a while.
