Congratulatory Messages

My office can organise congratulatory messages for 50th, 60th, 65th, 70th Wedding Anniversaries and for 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays from the Governor, Prime Minister, Premier and Federal MPs.

The Queen and Governor-General will also send special messages for 60th Wedding Anniversaries and 100th birthdays.

You will need to provide supporting documentation like a birth certificate or marriage certificate (photocopies of originals are accepted, if certified by a Justice of the Peace). If these are not available you can provide a statutory declaration.

To ensure messages arrive in time for the special celebration, three weeks advance notice is needed for processing.

Please contact my office on (02) 6555 4099 to apply for these messages, or complete the form below.

Australians can receive congratulatory messages from His Majesty The King, the Governor-General, the Prime Minister and Premier.

How to Apply

To arrange an anniversary message, follow these steps:

Step 1: Gather supporting documentation for the relevant birthday or wedding anniversary. The supporting document needs to clearly state the full name or names of those celebrating the anniversary, and the date of the anniversary.

Supporting documentation can include:

  • copies of birth certificates, passports or marriage certificates; or
  • a statutory declaration with the relevant names and anniversary details. Statutory declaration forms are available at any post office, or online from the Attorney-General’s Department.

Step 2: Contact my electorate office or complete the online application below, I will then arrange for the request to be submitted.

Delivery of messages

Anniversary messages can be delivered directly to the recipient or to a care-of address if you want it to be a surprise.

Timing of message request

To give the best chance of the message arriving on time, you should arrange it no later than two months before the date of the wedding/birthday anniversary.

If you are unable to submit the request this early, we will do our best to process the request in time but delivery by the anniversary/birthday cannot be guaranteed. Even if you missed the anniversary date, you can request a message up to six months after the birthday or wedding.
