The NSW Registry of Births Deaths & Marriages administers the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1995 (NSW). The information required on this form is collected under the provisions of this Act. This legislation is available at: www.legislation.nsw.gov.au.

The information held by the Registry may be used for statistical purposes and by law enforcement agencies as well as other uses provided for by law. The Registry may also wish to contact you for research or surveys. Such access for approved purposes may be granted to other Registries and certain government agencies (including the Passports Office, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, and motor vehicle or driver licensing authorities) and to authorised non-government agencies.

To protect your privacy, the Registry requires proof of your identity. In line with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW), the Registry is collecting this information so that it can determine your eligibility to obtain this certificate, and to prevent fraud.

Usually these referrals will be to simply verify the documents or other evidence that you have provided to us in making your application. If there are discrepancies, we may require you to correct any errors with the issuing agency, before being able to process your application. It is extremely important that all your identity documents are accurate and reflect your correct identity information.

Documents provided as proof of identity may have their authenticity verified through the online certificate validation service (CertValid) or the National Document Verification System (DVS). Documents issued by this office may also ve verified by other organisations using CertValid and/or DVS.

It may be an offence to give false information in this application.

False Information: If you knowingly provide false information in this application, you may be guilty of an offence under Section 57 of the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1995.
Section 57 - False representation: A person who makes a representation in an application, notice or document under this Act or in response to a notice under Section 44 of this Act (Registrar's powers of inquiry), knowing the representation to be false or misleading in a material particular, is guilty of an offence. Maximum penalty: 100 penalty units or 2 years imprisonment, or both.
