The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages holds all birth, death and marriage certificates registered in Western Australia since 9 September 1841. Indexes to these certificates are held in the Battye Library in various forms (births 1841-1905, deaths 1841-1980, and marriages 1841-1965) and searching can now be done online (births 1841-1932, deaths 1841-1962 and marriages 1841-1932). Copies of birth, death and marriage certificates can only be obtained from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. Fees for copies of birth, death and marriage certificates vary (there is also a fee for carrying out searches). The Registry also issues licences for personal name changes for which there is also a fee and registers deed polls.
