If you were married/divorced overseas or are choosing to change your name for any other reason: You will need to present a change of name certificate or an updated birth certificate issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (RBDM) in the state/territory where you were born.
For most purposes a deed poll will be accepted to change documents, but there are some important exceptions. Birth and marriage certificates cannot be changed. However, your deed poll together with your birth certificate will be sufficient for the passport office to issue you with a passport in the new name.
