How to Get Your Marriage Certificate in Victoria
If you were married in Victoria, the official state marriage certificate comes from Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria.
The simple version
- You get married.
- The marriage is registered.
- You order the official certificate from BDM Victoria.
Do not confuse it with the certificate from the day
The certificate you get on the day is not the same as the official Victorian certificate.
The official certificate is the one most people need for formal admin afterwards.
Where to go
Use the BDM Victoria website for:
- current fees
- current turnaround times
- ordering instructions
- proof of identity requirements
