What is a Death Certificate and how do I get one?

A Death Certificate is the official document issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages containing the information registered when someone passes away, including the date, place and cause of death. Contact the Registry in your relevant State/Territory to obtain a copy of the certificate.

You can provide notification of death even before you receive a Death Certificate.
