Marriage conducted at the Registry Office
If you wish for your marriage to be conducted by a Registrar of Marriages at the Registry Office, you must pay a fee of NZ$173.70 when you send in or hand over the completed Notice of Intended Marriage form. This includes the fee for the marriage licence and the ceremony. Please discuss with the Registrar at the office where you plan to have the marriage ceremony of the date and time for your ceremony. Remember to include your contact details (e.g. a telephone number in New Zealand or an address) in case the Registrar needs to contact you.
Collecting and Using Your Marriage Licence
A marriage licence is normally issued no sooner than three calendar days (e.g. it may sometimes be four or five days) after the completed Notice of Intended Marriage form is submitted and the fee has been paid.
Your marriage licence is valid for three months from the date on which it is issued. During that period you are free to marry at the place or places specified on the marriage licence.
If you change your venue before the marriage has taken place, you must advise the Registry Office from where your licence was obtained.
At the conclusion of the ceremony you will be handed a signed copy of one of the 'Copy of Particulars of Marriage'. The other copy will be returned to the issuing Registrar by your marriage celebrant.作者: iamok 时间: 2013-1-26 10:39:28
