Who’s eligible?:
This application form can only be used if the death occurred in NSW.

If you’re a next of kin named on the death certificate (that is, a married/de facto spouse, parent, or child of the deceased), the death certificate can be issued to you. If you’re a relative not listed on the certificate, the certificate can be issued to you if the deceased had no living spouse, children or parents. In both cases, you must provide 3 copies of your own identification.

If you don’t meet the above criteria, you must provide:
** a letter giving permission from the next of kin, including their address, daytime telephone number and signature
** 3 copies of identification from the person giving permission, and
** 3 copies of your own identification.

If you’re a solicitor applying for a certificate on behalf of your client, you must provide:
** a letter on company letterhead stating the reason required (‘legal’ is not sufficient – a specific reason is needed, such as Probate, Estate Administration), together with your client’s name
** a completed application form
** a copy of your Law Society ID Card or Practising Certificate
** your name in the Applicant’s Details section, and
** payment made by company or trust cheque, or company credit card.
