A Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) can be issued if, on the basis of information supplied by the applicant, the couple meet the criteria which would render a marriage legal in Australia:
•	the parties are not closely related 
•	they are both of marriageable age (18 years) 
•	neither is already married.

The laws of some countries require that before a foreigner may marry within their jurisdiction, they must produce a certificate issued by the authorities of the country to which they belong stating that those authorities do not know of any impediment to the marriage. Such a certificate is known as a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) or in some countries as a Nulla Osta Certificate.

A statutory declaration is a solemn declaration of fact or belief, and may generally be made in relation to any matter. An affidavit is used to give evidence in court proceedings, while a statutory declaration is used to give evidence in most other circumstances.

The declaration must contain an acknowledgement that it is true and correct and that it was made in the belief that a person making a false declaration is liable to the relevant penalties for perjury (eg. in the case of a Commonwealth statutory declaration, imprisonment of up to four years).
