The proposed Regulation will prescribe:

i. fees for services provided by the Registry, primarily undertaking searches and providing certificates of individual events and registering changes of name and parentage information; and

ii. the particulars to be provided to enable the compulsory registration and/or notification of events (births, deaths, marriages, changes of name and changes of sex) in compliance with the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1995.
