You have decided to get married in New Zealand, but you aren’t sure where to start? The Births, Deaths and Marriages website is a great place to begin. It provides you with all of the details about how to apply for your marriage or civil union licence.

Your licence will cost you $150, and you can complete the process online. No need to go into the Courts. I will complete the process with Births, Deaths, and Marriages after the ceremony is finished.
It’s important to know that your officiant/celebrant must be registered with the Department of Internal Affairs (Births, Deaths and Marriages).
