Book, change or cancel your ceremony at the Brisbane registry

You can book your ceremony date before your interview appointment or change or cancel the ceremony date you have already booked with us.

If you have booked your ceremony with a private civil marriage celebrant, civil partnership notary or church, please contact them directly.

Choose your ceremony date

You may choose your ceremony date before your interview appointment or if you live outside of Southeast Queensland and can’t attend an interview appointment with us.

Contact us to check which of your 3 preferred ceremony dates are available.

We will check the dates before contacting you to make payment to book your date and let you know what to do next.

You will have to submit your completed and signed notice of intended marriage application form along with proof of ID and eligibility documents. Bring these along to your interview appointment. If you can’t come to an interview appointment, you can tell us when completing the request below.

If we don’t receive your application and supporting documents at least 1 month before your ceremony date, you may not be able to have your ceremony on your chosen date.
