[VIC] Free Gender Affirming Update on Birth Certificate (Was $140.40) @ Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria

Victoria has become the first state in Australia to make it free for trans and gender diverse people to update their gender on their birth certificate following regulation changes made by the Allan Labor Government.

Previously, trans Victorians paid $140.40 to be issued a new birth certificate while people born outside Victoria paid $122 for a recognised details certificate. These fees have now been abolished.

In line with existing fee waiver policy, applications to change a name at the same time as a record of sex change will also be free, and certificate postage within Australia will be waived.

Birth certificates are an important identity document used when enrolling for study, opening bank accounts, applying for a drivers licence or passport, or accessing government services – yet only one third of trans and gender Victorians currently hold identity documents that reflect who they are.

By making it free, the Government is making sure cost is never a barrier to a person having an identity document that reflects who they are.

Edit PS: Get in quick! This offer is likely to expire 28 November 2026
