Adoptions

The Registry records details of legal adoptions finalised in NSW.

Adoption applications require complex and extensive searches therefore no exact time limit for processing these applications can be given.

For enquiries regarding adoptions please contact:

Supply Authority

You will need to apply for a supply authority for the following:

  • Adoptee - to obtain your pre adoptive or adoptive persons birth record.
  • Birth parent - to obtain adoption information of your child, including an adopted person's birth record

After a Supply Authority has been issued to you by FACS, you may then apply to the Registry of Births Deaths & Marriages for information on the adoption. Your application must include three (3) forms of your identification along with the certificate fee.
