NSW Relationship Registration

Hi Everyone,

My partner and I have decided that I am going to return to Sydney to wait until he gets his visa and then he will come at the end of the year. I am planning to register our relationship when I get back to Sydney ( I think that is ok with only me as a NSW resident). My question is about the stat dec part of the application form. It says that the declaration has to be made in NSW, but my partner will not be in Australia at the time of submission.
How do we apply without being able to get the stat dec witnessed in NSW?

Thanks.

Hi Hessbag,

I dont think you can - the authorised witness needs to sight the person and the ID, and then sign off on it all. Is your partner coming to Australia anytime soon? or do you HAVE to register your relationship?

You can always call Birth, Deaths and Marriages to confirm.
