Adding marriage details to a Birth Certificate

It is possible to add marriage details to a child's Birth Certificate.  An application form can be obtained by contacting the Registry. 

You must lodge the following documentation with the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages:

• a completed application to 'Add Marriage Details to a Birth'.  Both parents must sign the form in the presence of a witness, over the age of 18 years
• a certified copy of the child's certificate
• a certified copy of the marriage certificate
• the prescribed fee

Please Note:  Changing a child's name or adding the father's details to the Birth Certificate is a separate process.
