what to bring with you when you meet your celebrant

Heart2heart Ceremonies...for your heart and soul

For ceremonies other than weddings
	You do not have to bring any official documents along to our meetings. However, for renewal of vows and other ceremonies, you may like to familiarise yourself with dates and times of significant events to include in the ceremony. For namings, you will need to establish who will be the guardians, godparents or mentors of your child and obtain their consent (written consent is not necessary).
For weddings
	You need original certificates and documents when filling out and lodging the Notice of Intended Marriage, including: certificate of birth or extract of entry of birth showing date and place of birth if you have no certificate of birth: a statutory declaration and a passport or Certificate of Australian Citizenship for an overseas resident, a passport from the overseas country certificate of divorce (or decree absolute) or certificate of nullity if previously married certificate of death if previous spouse is deceased if one of you is under the age of 18, a court order permitting the marriage and a consent form signed by the parents of the person under 18 official translation of any documents not in English any Change of Name Certificate showing a name change from that on your birth certificate.
