If
you were born in Australia you will need to produce
an original copy of your birth certificate... This can be
obtained at the Registry Office in the state of your birth.
If you were born overseas
you will need your birth certificate or a current passport...
If these documents are in a language other than English, you
will need a certified translation of the documents.
If you are widowed you
will also need the death certificate which can be obtained
from the State Registry in the state where the death was registered.
If either partner was previously
divorced, a copy of the decree absolute can be obtained
from the Family Law Court in the state where the marriage
was dissolved... Note this only applies to marriages dissolved
after 1975. For marriages dissolved before 1975, a copy of
the decree absolute can be obtained from the Supreme Court
in the state where the marriage was dissolved.
