Changing your name

If you’re changing your full legal name to a new name, you’ll need to follow these steps.

1. Complete and sign a Change of Name Statement Form

2. Certify change of name evidence

Prepare original certified copies (no older than 3 months) of your change of name evidence, such as:

  • Marriage certificate
  • Revised birth certificate
  • Change of name certificate.

These documents must be issued by an Australian State or Territory Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) registry or by a foreign government body equivalent.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on getting your documents certified.

3. Post documents to us

Post the completed Change of Name Statement Form, together with both the certified copies of your ID and change of name evidence to:
