NSW Birth Certificates to Recognize Adoption 31 August 2020 at 9:31:41 am AEST
As a result of new reforms introduced in the New South Wales, Australia, Parliament, people will be able to have their birth and adopted families included on a birth certificate. This is a government sponsored bill.
Attorney General Mark Speakman said the new integrated birth certificates (IBC) will modernize this important legal identity document by including an adopted person’s full history…“These reforms will give adopted people across the State the choice to use a birth certificate that includes information about their parents and siblings at birth, as well as their parents and siblings after they have been adopted.”
The Bill amends the Adoption Act 2000 and the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1995 to authorize the issuing of an IBC. Following the proposed amendments, newly adopted people will be issued with an IBC along with the existing post adoptive birth certificate that is provided after adoption. Both will be legal identity documents, allowing the adopted person to use whichever one they prefer.
Under the current law, a birth certificate issued by the Registrar of Births Deaths & Marriages (BDM) after a person is adopted can only record the child’s adoptive parents and any adoptive siblings, making no reference to the birth parents.
People adopted prior to the commencement of the reforms can contact the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages to find out how they can apply for an IBC.
