A Help Guide is useful if you are new to this page
1.A simple basic search is cost free
You can obtain the very basic details of certificates .
You are not charged for the searching. In this way I can check if my data is correct eg. Who were the children born to William and Mary Sykes and year of birth?
I plan ahead to make sure that the search only gives the information that I am actually needing.
2. Complete Birth Death Marriage Certificates require payment.
See the details on the Victorian Registry Office website.
Some advice given to me about original certificates
Birth and Marriage certificates are more reliable than death certificates. This is because in some cases, remaining living family members (children, nieces, nephews cousins etc) may not have known much about the life of the deceased - the mother’s second name, the father’s birth place etc.
Hoping that this information will be of help to you.
(I have had no trouble paying by credit card online with this organisation)
