Registered Marriage Certificate

By law celebrants will send your paperwork to the REGISTRY of BIRTHS DEATHS AND MARRIAGE (BDM'S) office within two weeks from your marriage date or they will use a portal online.

I will send a tracking number & it is your job to track this to see the arrival at BDM'S.

The pretty 'mantelpiece' form 15 I gave your on your actual wedding day, is from the Attorney general department but does you no good changing your name. You need to:

APPLY FOR YOUR REGISTERED MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE from Births Deaths & Marriages, usually 3-4 weeks after your marriage.

Or

Alternatively you can go into BDM's, line up, apply & leave with it on the same day.

Address: Level 10, 141 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000

Or

You can apply in a local court & leave with it on the same day, this is exceptionally good if you live rural.
