How do i know if my birth certificate is certified?

To get a certified copy of you birth certificate in Australia you take the original birth certificate or the copy that you got from the Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages. You photocopy a copy or a number of copies if you need more than one copy.



Take these photocopied copies and the original along to a Justice of the Peace in your suburb or town. He or she must site the original before they can certify the copies. They will stamp and sign the copies. You retain the original and send a certified copy of your birth certificate for what ever purposes that you intend to use it.



I hope that this helps explain what you have to do to get a certified copy of your birth certificate.



Good Luck!!!
