Help! We forgot to file our NOIM

How would this have happened? Surely your celebrant would have been on top of this. You need to have the witnessed NOIM to a celebrant at least one month before your ceremony date. You could apply for  a shortening of time. If this fails you could have a commitment ceremony and do the wedding at a later date.

You legally have to file your NOIM with your celebrant - and 1 month from that date you can legally marry, so if you havnt filed it yet - and your wedding is in two weeks you legally can't marry on that day. Hope this helps! 

Your wedding celebrant should have been responsible for this and ensure he/she had that paperwork.  By law you need to lodge this with your celebrant one month prior to your wedding.  You may be able to apply for a Shortening of Notice, however this may not be successful.  You might need to have a committment ceremony on your day with your legal wedding completed one month after your NOIM date has been filed to your celebrant.  I hope this all works out for you. 

Hi, do you have a wedding celebrant? If so, you're celebrant should be aware of this and will lodge the NOIM to BDM along with the other official documents after your wedding. 

In this situation I would suggest lodging your NOIM with your Celebrant (who should have been on top of this, by the way) and conducting a commitment ceremony on the date of your wedding. You then meet with your Celebrant one month from the date the NOIM was lodged and you just do the legal parts.

You cannot get legally married without having lodged your NOIM with your celebrant so you must contact your celebrant immediately. This is a document that you should have lodged with them at least one clear month prior to your wedding day. You may be able to apply for a Shortening of Notice.  If your application for a Shortening of Notice is unsuccessful then your celebrant can conduct a commitment ceremony (not legally binding) and you can have a simple legally binding ceremony at a later date.  So, no you don't need to cancel any plans, but adjustments need to be made to your ceremony to comply with marriage law.
