Most Public Libraries hold copies of the Registry's microfiche.
By searching the microfiche you can obtain the
registration number just as you would with an online Historical

You can then purchase the Family History Certificate online

Application Form. Remember to record the unique registration
number on your application to receive the discounted certificate

Registry Searches
The Registry can conduct a search for a Family History Certificate
for you. Ensure you provide as many details of the person's
record you wish to search including their:
- Surname
- First name
- Date and place of birth, death or marriage
- Any other relevant details
If you don’t know when the event occurred, you can
nominate a 10-year period for the Registry to search. If the
date you have given the Registry is incorrect, we will search
up to five years either side of the date.
You can also ask the Registry to search a longer period than
10 years at an extra cost.
- Initial 10-year search (includes a birth, death or marriage
certificate) for $34.00.
- Each extra 10-year search or part there incurs an extra
fee of $34.00.
Think carefully about the date of the birth, death or marriage
you wish to search. If you wait for the results of your first
search and then decide to extend the timeframe, it will count
as a new search and you will be charged a further $34.00.
If you are unsure about the spelling of a name, note this
on your application form and we will check any minor variations.
A search under a different family name will require separate
search fees.
You can complete a Family
History Application Form and mail or fax it to the Registry.
Please note identification is not required
to purchase a Family History Certificate.

Transcription Agents
The Registry has accredited Transcription Agents who are
able to provide genealogists with full transcriptions, partial
transcriptions or verification of certain fields of a birth,
death or marriage record.
Transcription Agents are particularly useful when you do
not need full-certified copies of a birth, death or marriage
certificate but just want the information in order to be able
to continue your research.
Fees vary according to the request. Refer to NSW Birth, Death
& Marriage Certificate Transcription Agents:
