Logistics Marrying in Japan as an Aus - CNI help

Hello lovely people of reddit. Apologise for formatting, I'm using my phone.

My Japanese partner of 4+ years popped the question and we are going to get married. I'm currently looking into gathering documents needed in order to marry in Japan. The first of these is the Certificate of No Impediment. Essentially a piece of paper that says I'm legally able to wed.

I have looked into it best I can but am still at a bit of a loss on what documents of HIS I need with the application. I'm aware I need my birth certificate to accompany the application. I haven't married before so there's no other documents that I'm aware I need for my side. But with his side, is a certified copy of his passport enough to send with the application? I did email the Australian Notary who handle the CNI application as well asking and they never actually answered that aspect of my question. I would appreciate some guidance from fellow Australians who have had to do this at some stage so I know I'm doing the right thing to make this as smooth as possible.

Thank you kindly in advance, friends.
