Every legal marriage in Australia needs two witnesses.

If you cannot bring your own witnesses, or you want to keep things very private, we may be able to help with a witness service.

What Witnesses Do

Witnesses are there to:

  • be present for the marriage
  • sign the marriage documents
  • witness that the marriage took place

They do not need to know you personally.

Basic Witness Rules

Your witnesses must be, or appear to be, over 18.

They should also be able to understand what is happening and sign the paperwork properly.

Who Uses This Service

Witness help is common for couples who:

  • are keeping the appointment private
  • are travelling from overseas
  • do not have local family or friends available
  • want a very small paperwork-only appointment

What the Service Covers

Our witness service is designed to keep the legal side simple:

  • reliable attendance
  • witnesses who understand their role
  • a calm, professional presence
