Applying for a certificate of marital status in Australia

Are you a Dutch national living in Australia and do you need a certificate of marital status (single status certificate)? The Dutch consulate-general in Sydney does not issue this certificate. In Australia you can get this certificate from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM).

Warning: If you are registered in the Personal Records Database (BRP) in the Netherlands, apply for this document from the municipality where you are registered. You may need to have the certificate translated and legalised before you can use it outside the Netherlands.

You can request a statement that you are not married through the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages of the Australian government. Each state has its own registry.
