The key rule

You may be able to prepare or lodge the NOIM while the divorce is still progressing, but the marriage itself cannot happen until the divorce is legally effective.
What you usually need
If you divorced in Australia
- final divorce order or other accepted court evidence
If you divorced overseas
- the relevant divorce documents
- English translations if needed
- enough evidence for the celebrant to be satisfied the divorce is legally effective
