Hi Sharon, You can download an application form for the death certificate from the Qld Department of Justice website http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/16.html If the death occurred more than 50 years ago you do not have to fulfil all the obligations of proving identity or being a relative or getting permission from next of kin. The cost is $29.95 ($27 plus postage) or an extra $10.85 if you require it to be posted by registered mail. You can pay by credit card by filling in the details on the form. Carol
