Why you may need a Death Certificate?
A Death Certificate is the official record of a person’s passing in Australia.
It’s often needed to:

- Settle estates or access insurance
- Notify government agencies and service providers
- Manage superannuation or property transfers
These certificates are issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) in the state or territory where the person passed away.
