Flood disaster relief - Birth, Marriage, Change of Name certificates
Customers impacted by a declared natural disaster can have their birth, marriage or change of name certificate replaced for free for a period of up to 6 months after the event. Apply at your nearest Service NSW Centre or call 13 77 88 for more information.
Service NSW can also help you to replace certificates registered in other Australian states and territories or in New Zealand.
New certificate paper
From 2 August 2021, all of our certificates will be printed on new security paper.
You don’t need to purchase a new certificate unless your details on it have changed.
This is an Australia wide initiative.
You can contact us if you’d like more information.
