To protect your privacy, all certificate applications must be accompanied by proof of identity documents.

This application can only be used if the marriage occurred in NSW.

If you are the bride or groom, your marriage certificate can be issued to you. If you are a child of the bride or groom, the certificate can be issued to you if the bride and groom are deceased. If you are not a child of the bride or groom, but need to establish your legal right or entitlement, e.g. under a will, your application will be considered.

If you DO meet the above criteria, you must provide the following:

1. Three (3) forms of your own identification (see below).

If you DO NOT meet the above criteria, you must provide
the following:

1. A letter giving permission from the person named on the certificate or if deceased, their next of kin. Please include their address, daytime telephone number and signature.
2. Three (3) forms of identification from the person giving permission or their next of kin (see below).
3. Three (3) forms of your own identification (see below).

Identification

Please provide at least three (3) forms of identification, one of each from Categories 1, 2 and 3. If you are unable to provide identification from Categories 1 and 2, you must still provide at least three (3) forms of identification. At least two (2) of these must be from Category 3.
