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 declaration/certificate translated and legalised before you can use it outside the Netherlands.
