Getting a Visa Letter From Your Celebrant (Fiancé & Partner Visas)
Getting a Visa Letter From Your Celebrant (Fiancé & Partner
Why You Might Need a Visa Letter
If you or your partner needs a fiancé/partner visa (or visitor visa with an intent-to-marry), the visa office often asks for evidence of a booked legal ceremony. That’s where a visa letter from your celebrant helps: it confirms your identity, your intent to marry, and your ceremony details—on official letterhead—so your application isn’t delayed.
At I Do Drive Thru, we provide visa letters that follow the format visa offices expect, matched to the details on your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and our booking records. Fee: $110 (add-on) when you book your ceremony with us.
What Our Visa Letter Includes
On celebrant letterhead, signed by a government-authorised marriage celebrant:
Couple’s full legal names (as per passports/ID)
Ceremony date, time, and location (or city/region if final spot pending)
Celebrant’s full name, registration number, and contact details
Booking confirmation and statement of intent to marry
Confirmation that a NOIM will be/has been lodged in line with Australian law
Any file/booking reference that aligns with your application
A line noting we are an authorised celebrant under Australian law
If your embassy asks for extra lines (e.g., passport numbers, guest count, venue policy), we can tailor the wording—just share the request letter/email.
Price & Turnaround
Visa letter fee: $110 (available only with a ceremony booking)
Format: PDF on letterhead, signed by your celebrant
Turnaround: Typically 2–3 business days after we have your details; rush options available where possible
Step-By-Step: How to Get Your Visa Letter
Book your ceremony with I Do Drive Thru (choose a date/city; we can hold a time and refine location if needed).
Provide ID details (as per passport) and the precise spelling of both names.
Share any embassy instructions (screenshots/links help).
We draft your letter in the required format and send a PDF for your records/submission.
If needed, we issue a revision to match any follow-up requests from the visa office.
Tip: Even if your final photo spot isn’t decided, we can reference the city/region and a provisional location, which is usually acceptable for visa evidence.
What If You Haven’t Lodged the NOIM Yet?
No problem. Many visa offices accept letters that confirm your intent to lodge and scheduled ceremony date with an authorised celebrant. We’ll clearly state the legal steps and timeline in the letter. (We’ll also guide you to lodge the NOIM—normally at least one month before your ceremony—unless a lawful Shortening of Time applies.)
