What do I do if I have a Change of Name?
If you cannot provide all identity documents in your primary name you must provide a linkage document. A linkage document will be:
- an Australian marriage certificate issued by a State or Territory (this does not include a church or celebrant-issued certificate)
- a revised and reissued Australian Birth Certificate that shows your change of name.
Your accredited body can provide more information about what linkage documents you will need to provide. Please contact your accredited body to discuss your circumstances.
