At the very least, three working days before your wedding date – as it takes the local NZ Court House\/Registry office this long\u00a0to process your Notice.<\/p>\n
At the very most, no more than 3 months before your wedding date – as your marriage licence is only valid for 3 months.<\/p>\n
Be aware of public holidays and Court House\/Registry Office closures which may hold up the process. I recommend that couples complete and submit their marriage licence application a month or two before the big day to get it out of the way in good time.<\/p>\n

Ideally yes. This is a case of hoping for the best but planning for the worst. If it comes to your wedding\u00a0day and you\u2019re unable to use your first choice wedding venue due to weather conditions or other circumstances, you will need a plan B. Talk with your celebrant about your options here.<\/p>\n
Don’t worry if you don’t know your backup venue at the time of applying for your licence, your celebrant can sort this out later if the second venue is used on the day.<\/p>\n

There is space on\u00a0your form\u00a0to state how the previous marriage ended and when (the date on the death or divorce certificate). You\u00a0do not need to provide any evidence as when you complete\u00a0the “statutory declaration” you are signing that all the information provided is true… and they trust you!<\/p>\n
