Why you may need a Birth Certificate?

A Birth Certificate is an essential identity document in Australia. You’ll often need it to:

  • Apply for a passport or visa
  • Enrol in school or university
  • Register for government benefits or identification
  • Access certain financial or legal services

If you were born in Australia, your certificate is issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) in your state or territory.

Who can apply for a Birth Certificate?

Generally, you can apply if you are:

  • The person named on the certificate (if over 16)
  • A parent listed on the certificate
  • A legal representative or authorised person

Each state may have slightly different rules or verification steps, which we’ll explain after you choose your state.
