Victoria has declared a State of Emergency due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
Our customer service and call centres are closed until further notice.
You can still apply online for certificates and registrations. Check our certificate turnaround times for how long it will take.
We are prioritising critical certificate or registration requests. For critical needs only:
- Apply online, then
- Email bdmcritical@justice.vic.gov.au (External link) with your reference number and reason(s) why it is critical.
For information about COVID-19, visit the DHHS website (External link)
You can apply to revoke a registered relationship.
The death of either party or the marriage of either party in the registered relationship (to each other or another person) will automatically revoke the registered relationship.
You'll need to wait 90 days after you've applied before the relationship can be revoked.
You don't automatically get a certificate when your relationship is revoked.
If you want to get a certificate of revocation, you must order this at the time of revoking the relationship.
If you need to withdraw a recent application you have made to register a relationship, or you need to withdraw a recent application you have made to revoke a registered relationship, you can do this by logging in to My items (External link).
