Thank you for your review request
Thank you for your request for us to review a certificate.
We have sent you an email with an attached application form for your records only. Do not send us the application unless we ask you to.
You have given us your contact details and we will respond to your request by email or telephone within 15 business days.
Holiday closure
The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages located at Level 32, 180 Ann Street, Brisbane will be closed from 4.30pm Tuesday 24 December 2024 to Wednesday 1 January 2025 for the Christmas break.
We will re-open on Thursday 2 January at 8.30am.
Documents we may ask you to provide
We will contact you if we need more information or documents to support your request.
If correcting a current life event, you might be asked to provide:
- the date of birth on a birth certificate—an original letter from the hospital where the birth occurred
- the spelling of a parent’s name on a certificate—information to help us find the parent’s Queensland birth certificate showing the correct name
- marriage details on a birth or death certificate—information to help us find the Queensland marriage certificate showing the correct details
- supporting documentation from the time of the life event—evidence of occupation
- a completed and signed application form.
If the event that supports the correction has been registered interstate or overseas, you might be asked to provide a certified photocopy of the supporting documents.
If you are questioning information that was submitted by a doctor, birthing staff, funeral director or marriage celebrant we may not be able to change the details. The person or agency that provided the information would need to submit further evidence that supports the information you feel is incorrect or missing information.
Returning certificates
If your certificate is not correct or is incomplete, we will ask you to return it and we can advise you on any fees payable for printing a new certificate.
Pay the fee
We will give you payment options if we request a fee to be paid. Don't send us your credit card details by email.
