Applying for a Marriage Certificate in Queensland

If you need proof of your marriage for official purposes, you will usually need the official marriage certificate from Queensland Births, Deaths and Marriages.

What it is for

People commonly use the official certificate for:

  • changing name with banks and government agencies
  • updating identification records
  • visa or overseas document processes
  • other official proof of marriage needs

What it is not

It is not the commemorative or ceremonial certificate given on the day.

Where to get it

Apply direct with the Queensland Government:

Best advice

Wait until the marriage has been registered, then apply directly through the official government channel.
