If the Youth Court of South Australia has issued a Notice of a Discharge of an Adoption Order, a copy of the order will be provided to Births, Deaths and Marriages which sets out changes to be made to an adopted person’s birth registration.
The adopted person may apply for a copy of their birth certificate at no cost.
A new birth certificate, together with the Court Order, may be used to update the person's details with other agencies.
