In many of the steps involved in administering an estate, a certified copy, or an extract, of a death certificate is required to prove a death. These can be obtained from the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages via online or paper application.
Processing times vary but an estimated processing time can be generated on the Consumer and Business Services website. For an additional fee, an urgent application can be upgraded to priority service and it will be assessed within 1 business day. Current fees can be checked on the Births, Deaths and Marriages website.
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
