Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1996

The Registrar must maintain a register or registers of registrable events.

The Register—

must contain the particulars of each registrable event required under this Act, or another law, to be included in the Register; and

may contain further information if its inclusion is considered appropriate by the Registrar.

The Register may be wholly or partly in the form of a computer data base, in documentary form, or in another form the Registrar considers appropriate.

The Registrar must maintain the indexes to the Register that are necessary to make the information contained in the Register reasonably accessible.
