Registration number
While the location of a Birth Certificate registration number varies between each state/territory, it is generally located at either the top or bottom of the certificate. It is often labelled as the Registration Number and may also include letters. If there is a forward slash (/) in the number, please include it e.g. 123456/1970.
In the example image below, a NSW birth certificate is displayed, and the registration number is located in the top-right corner of the certificate.
