Personal Data

The personal data provided to me and marriage documents that are completed in the lead up to each wedding are stored as per the requirements of the Marriage Act 1961. The Act also requires that certain information is sent to the office of Births, Deaths & Marriages in the State in which a wedding is held after the wedding takes place so that the marriage can be registered. This includes the:

1. Form 13 Notice of Intended Marriage;
2. Form 14 Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage; and
3. Form 16 Official Certificate of Marriage.

Other documents such as those pertaining to a Shortening of Time, Certificate of Faithful Performance By Interpreter or Statutory Declarations will be included (where relevant.)

An authorised celebrant is required to retain the Official Certificate of Marriage (hard copy or electronic version) for a period of 6 years from the date of each wedding. All other personal data will be destroyed after the registration of each marriage.
