Marriage After Divorce

Find clear guidance on getting married after divorce, including timing, final orders, and what documents you need.

Can I Get Married If I Am Divorced?

Yes, if the divorce is final and you can provide the right evidence.

Important Timing Point

You can often lodge the NOIM while a divorce is still progressing, but the marriage ceremony itself cannot happen until the divorce is legally final.

For Australian divorces, that usually means waiting until the divorce order has taken effect.

What Documents You Need

For Australian divorces

  • final divorce order or equivalent court evidence

For overseas divorces

  • the relevant divorce documents
  • certified English translations if needed
  • evidence showing the divorce is legally effective
