Internal administrative procedures for registration

Dave made this Right to Information request to Queensland Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Queensland Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Queensland Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages,

If possible, please treat this as an administrative or informal request.

Otherwise, please consider this a request under the FOI Act.

Can you please provide all information relating to documents for the administrative procedures of a baby boy or girl born in a state hospital or external. Please provide all documents for information required by Births, Deaths and Marriages for the registration procedure which may include CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH. With the examples of these documents no personal information is necessary.

I ask that all fees in relation to this request be waived because the release of the documents is in the public interest.

Yours faithfully,

Dave322∴

Right to Information Act / Information Privacy Act Applications

If you are making an application to DJAG under either the Information
Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act) or the Right to Information Act 2009 (RTI Act) a
member of RTI and Privacy will respond in writing acknowledging receipt of
your application and advising how the application will proceed, and any
further actions that may be required by you.

Once your application is valid (meaning that all of the requirements for a
valid application under the legislation have been met) you will be
notified in writing and the statutory timeframe for processing a decision
(25 business days) will commence, however this may be extended.  If this
occurs an officer from RTI and Privacy will contact you.

RTI and Privacy is able to assist you with information regarding the
procedural steps to lodge an application under the RTI Act or the IP Act
with DJAG for documents in its possession or control.  However, the RTI
and IP process is not designed to answer questions.  If you are seeking
answers to questions, and not documents, you might consider contacting the
business unit in DJAG responsible for the subject matter of your questions
directly.
