Planning Your Big Day

Did You Know

  • That the marriage certificate is only proof of marriage and not proof of your choice of surname?
  • You may like to apply for a registered marriage certificate for formal proof of marriage. This may assist you when changing names with various organisations.
  • You are able to apply for this certificate at any stage after the ceremony from Birth Deaths and Marriages. You will need to complete a form, obtainable on line from www.justice.wa.gov.au and supply a 100 point identity check.
