How to find out if you need a CNI

You must ask an authority from your destination if you need a CNI. DFAT can't tell you about the rules and requirements of an overseas country. It’s your responsibility to find out what you need.

•Check if you must have a CNI to get married there.
•Authorities may accept other evidence that you're free to marry. Ask if you can use a 'Single Status Certificate' or a 'No Record Result Certificate' instead of a CNI. You can get these from your local births, deaths and marriages registry.
•Some authorities only accept a CNI issued within their country. Ask if you must get it from the closest Australian embassy or consulate, or if you can get one in Australia before you go.
•You may also need to legalise the CNI. Ask if you need an apostille or authentication certificate on your CNI.
