Most adults can get married in Tasmania if they meet the normal Australian marriage rules.
You Can Usually Get Married If You:
- are not already married
- are not marrying a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, or sister
- are at least 18, or have the rare court approval needed if one person is 16 or 17
- understand what marriage means
- freely agree to marry
- complete the legal paperwork
Citizenship and Residency
You do not need to be:
- an Australian citizen
- a permanent resident
- living in Tasmania already
Tourists, visa holders, interstate couples, and overseas couples can all marry here if they meet the legal requirements.
If You Cannot Marry
You cannot marry if:
- you are still legally married to someone else
- you are in a prohibited relationship under Australian law
- you do not have the capacity to consent
- the legal steps have not been met
Marriage Equality
Marriage in Australia is open to all couples regardless of sex, gender, or sexuality.
Before the Marriage
You still need to:
- complete a NOIM
- give it to your celebrant at least one month before the marriage
- provide the required documents
- meet the celebrant in person before the marriage is solemnised
If you just want the simplest legal option, our $700 paperwork-only marriage is designed for exactly that. If you want vows or guests, see the $1,400 elopement package and the $1,600 wedding ceremony package.
