How to Get Your Marriage Certificate in Tasmania

How to order your official marriage certificate from Tasmania Births, Deaths and Marriages after the wedding, and why the ceremonial certificate is not enough.

Book online Compare packages from $700

After your marriage, the next step for most couples is ordering the official marriage certificate from Tasmania Births, Deaths and Marriages.

First, the Marriage Has to Be Registered

After the marriage:

  • we complete the paperwork
  • we lodge the marriage documents with the registry
  • once the marriage is registered, you can order the official certificate

What Most Couples Need

Most couples want the official certificate for:

  • name changes
  • passport updates
  • banking and identity updates
  • visa paperwork
  • general proof of marriage

Important Difference

The ceremonial certificate you get on the day is not usually enough for those purposes.

The official certificate comes from the state registry.

Best Advice

If you know you will need the official certificate quickly, plan for that early and check the current Tasmania BDM ordering process and timeframes.
