As of March 2011, priority service is available when applying for certificates online. If you apply for priority service, you must be able to collect the certificate from the Grenfell Street registration office. Priority certificates cannot be sent by registered post. Priority certificates will be processed within 24 hours of application.

Please ensure that you read the identification required to collect your certificate from the Grenfell Street registration Office.

If the registered event occurred in another state or territory then you must apply to the Registry Office in that state or territory for a certificate.

The Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Office strives to issue certificates within five (5) working days following receipt of a completed application. However, due to high demand, we may sometimes be unable to meet our service charter standards for the provision of marriage, death, change of name and family history certificates which are not held on computer.
All applications for certificates are subject to the Registrar's Access Policy, which restricts access to records depending on the age of the record and the relationship of the applicant. This is to ensure the security and privacy of the subject matter(s) is maintained. Applicants are also required to provide evidence of their identification in accordance with the Proof of Identity Policy.
You can also obtain forms from:
Bill paying post offices in South Australia: An application form for a birth, death and/or marriage certificate is available from all bill paying post offices in South Australia. Forms cannot be lodged here however.
Regional Service SA Centres: Here you can obtain and lodge an application form for a birth, death and/or marriage certificate. Click here for details of regional SA centres offering this service.
