ONLY GET BIRTH, DEATH, MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES FROM THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT SITE

The WA Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (RBDM) is urging Western Australians to be careful when applying for birth, death or marriage certificates.

RBDM has become aware of commercial websites offering to obtain these important personal documents for more than twice the standard fee.

Be careful sharing personal, credit card or identification information on non-government, commercial websites.

These websites may mislead customers into believing they are official government services.

Only the WA Registry can issue legal WA birth, death and marriage certificates.

Apply for a birth, death or marriage certificate from The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages here: www.bdm.justice.wa.gov.au
