Erin Qld registry office no longer requires proof of identity for the following records which are regarded as historical records. Births up to 100 years ago Marriages up to 75 years ago Deaths up to 30 years ago They have no intention of letting transcription agents obtain details of certificates and have a 5 year plan to put some more records online. We will wait and see! The waiting time for mailed certificates has been reduced to about 3-4 weeks. Best of luck Pam in Brisbaned
