Getting married in Australian Capital Territory

The ACT has a special place in Australia’s marriage equality story. In December 2013 it passed its own marriage equality law, and couples married for a few joyful days before the High Court struck it down. Four years later, equality became national law.

The legal bit

Marriage law is the same across Australia. Lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage with your celebrant at least one month and no more than 18 months before the day, then marry with an authorized celebrant and two witnesses over 18. You don’t need to be a citizen or resident to marry here.

We would love to feature more Canberra weddings. Send us yours.

Can same-sex couples legally marry in the ACT?

How far ahead do we need to lodge our Notice of Intended Marriage?

At least one month and no more than 18 months before your wedding.

How many witnesses do we need?

Two, and both must be over 18.

Legal details last checked October 2026 against the Attorney-General’s Department. Always confirm with your celebrant.
