  • Births Deaths & Marriges Claiming I can not use a Fee Waiver to get source doc?

    Posted by J on May 1, 2024 at 1:29 am

    I sent you an application for my original registration of birth document and births deaths and marriages has sent me this:

    The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages has received your request for a copy of the Victorian original registration document.

    Upon review, a fee waiver has been attached to the application.

    The Registry does not accept fee waivers for Victorian original registration documents.

    A fee waive is only applicable for a legal certificate as stated on the fee waiver application.

    The Registry requires payment of $110.00 to complete the application.

    Please provide a Cheque, Money Order or call 1300 369 367 for card payment of $110.00 – please quote your reference number BDM Ref No“

    I feel like they have no right to demand an upfront payment, just because that will give me this type of document so easily.

    What should I do?

    Cheers
