Cando many thanks.

Have tried enquiries and got great results however saving the results as PDF files produces files with very small characters necessitating turning-up the magnification on my pdf readers. I used three different freeware PDF creators (actually pdf printer drivers) to create the pdf files so I assume it is a VIC BDM Registry issue.

Thank you Cando!  :)

That has to be a worldwide first doesn't it? Making something free that you used to have to pay for?  :-\

I haven't looked into this yet, but before I do, in case anyone already knows ... why did they do this?  :)

Did the fee for a downloaded certificate increase in price to counter the revenue lost with the search changes.

$24 cost for image has been in place for several months....?July.

Golly Johnno I've downloaded many images of Vic certs over the years.   Just increase the magnification.  Really no problem after all it is only one image on the page of the register you are interested in.

Just had a look at a couple. :)

Trying not to nitpick and ultimately if it isn't there it isn't there!! BUT - I was led to believe that the parents ages were put on the birth certificates - now as we are only seeing extracts I was still hoping  it would be shown - obviously not, or did I pick the one or two that aren't showing?
