The information held by the Registry may be used for statistical purposes and by law enforcement agencies as well as other uses provided for by law. The Registry may also wish to contact you for research or surveys. Such access for approved purposes may be granted to other Registries and certain government agencies (including the Passports Office, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, and motor vehicle or driver licensing authorities) and to authorised non-government agencies.

To protect your privacy, the Registry requires proof of your identity. In line with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW), the Registry is collecting this information so that it can determine your eligibility to obtain this certificate, and to prevent fraud.

If there are discrepancies, we may require you to correct any errors with the issuing agency, before being able to process your application. It is extremely important that all your identity documents are accurate and reflect your correct identity information.
