A NSW Standard Marriage Certificiate is an official certified copy of the registration data relating to an event held by the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages.

The Registry issues Marriage Certificates for marriages that occurred in New South Wales.

If you require a Marriage Certificate for a marriage that 50 years ago or more, this is classified as a Family History Marriage Certificate.

If the marriage occurred in another state or territory in Australia, please contact the relevant Registry Office within that state or territory.

Your marriage must be registered before a Marriage Certificate can be produced. Your civil or religious marriage celebrant will register the marriage on your behalf.

Before completing a Marriage Certificate application form you need to first check if you can apply for it.

All Marriage Certificate applications must be accompanied by at least three forms of identification. This ensures your privacy is maintained and that information is only released to those who are entitled to it.
