Getting original birth certificate when living abroad
I was born in Australia (Victoria), and have been living for many years out of Australia.
My name today is different than the one given to me at birth, but I have certified documents proving my connection to this name.
I also have a photocopy of my birth certificate, but not the original one.
My questions are:
(a) How do I get my original birth certificate from the BMD (Birth, Marrieage and Death) Registration office in Victoria state?
(b) What documents do I need to provide for this purpose, bearing in mind that I live outside of Australia?
(d) What is the exact address of the office I send my request to?
Thanks for any help,
Hinbar
