Between 1863-1870 administration of the Northern Territory was from Adelaide, South Australia and civil registration of births, deaths and marriages for that period can be found in South Australian records.<ref>National Library of Australia Website: Australian birth, death and marriage records: Northern Territory, https://www.nla.gov.au/research-guides/australian-birth-marriage-and-death-records/northern-territory, accessed 26 January 2022.</ref>
==Rights of Privacy==
Rights of privacy laws limit access to records recent enough to contain information about living persons.  You can access any of the following records:
*births that happened over 100 years ago
*deaths that happened over 30 years ago
*marriages that happened over 75 years ago
<br>
 
For records created since the cut-off dates, only these people have access to a record:
*the person named on the birth, marriage or change of name record
*an immediate family member named on the death certificate, such as a spouse, parent or child
*a parent, grandparent or guardian of a child over 18 years old who wishes to apply for a birth certificate and who has given written permission.
 
==Information Recorded in the Records==
 
When civil registration first began, there was no common standard of recording information, so the information listed may vary from state to state. Later records generally give more complete information than earlier ones.

'''Marriage records'''

*Occupations and places of residence of parties
*Ages and places of birth of parties

*Date and place of marriage
*Name of celebrant and denomination
*Names of witnesses
*Surnames and forenames of parents
