In some countries, foreigners must provide evidence that they are free to marry, before a legal marriage ceremony can be held in that country. A Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage (CNI) can be issued for this purpose.
It is your responsibility to ascertain whether the CNI must be issued in that country, or if a CNI issued in Australia or a third country is acceptable with the government authorities in the country in which you intend to marry. Rules can vary in different parts of the same country. Because of this, you should check with the government authorities in the state or province where you intend to get married.
*The Certificate also states that the Australian Consulate-General, New York is unable to confirm whether the person named is actually free to marry.*
A CNI is not a requirement under Australian law. The CNI is a general statement of the law in Australia concerning the recognition of foreign marriages. It states that the person named in the certificate has signed a declaration and, on the basis that the declaration is true and correct, there is no legal reason why they cannot marry.
