You can have your certificate sent by registered mail to your home with an optional priority service available. Alternatively contact the registry.

Important: Do not laminate your certificates. Identity documents must be kept in their original state to be accepted by Government agencies.

Births

Register your baby within 60 days of the birth. It's free and the hospital doesn’t do it for you. After you register your baby, you can apply for a birth certificate.

Marriage and relationships

Apply for a marriage certificate or plan your wedding ceremony at one of our welcoming venues.

Family history search

Start searching your ancestry with free access to our records. Check early church baptisms, burials and weddings from 1788 and official government records from 1856.

Deaths

A funeral director will normally register a death and apply for a death certificate on your behalf.

Name changes and corrections

Request changes or corrections to the information on a registration or certificate issued by the Registry.
