If you are applying on marriage grounds, you will need to provide a certified copy of your official Marriage certificate. A commemorative (decorative) certificate is not sufficient evidence.
If you were married in Australia, the certificate should be issued by the responsible state or territory registry office.
If you are applying on de-facto grounds you will need to provide one of the following:
• evidence that your de facto relationship has existed for an entire 12 months before lodging your Partner visa application. See: Fact Sheet 35 One-year relationship requirement
• evidence of compelling and compassionate circumstances that apply to your situation and which warrant applying before the 12 months have passed (for example if you have children with your partner).
• evidence that you and your partner have registered your de facto relationship in Australia.
Prema tome neuporedivo je laksa procedura za brak jer u tom slucaju ne moras da se zamajavas sa bankovnim racunima, nekretninama i ostalom papirologijom.
propustio si ovaj deo (koji je iznad ovog sto si citirao, dakle vazi i za de facto i za brak):
"Evidence that your relationship with your partner is genuine and continuing.
See: Evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship
Do not send photo albums, folders, computer disks, plastic sleeves, or long
transcripts of skype or phone conversations as this will not be considered as
evidence of your genuine and ongoing relationship."

moras da pokazes da ti je veza genuine, a samo marriage cert nije dovoljan za to.
