Request for Replacement of Testamur
This form is used by Notre Dame graduates to apply for a replacement testamur where the original document has been irretrievably lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged or if the graduate has had a change of name.
A replacement testamur cannot be issued if the original testamur is still in your possession. The original must either be returned to The University of Notre Dame Australia or a Statutory Declaration outlining the circumstances of the loss must be submitted before a replacement can be issued.
Processing of a replacement testamur will be within 20 working days, allowing additional time for postage. Replacement testamurs can be posted by registered mail for an additional postage fee or can be picked up in person from campus without charge.
Note: Due to current IT issues, processing times are experiencing heavy delays. Please consider processing times prior to requesting a replacement Testamur, as they are unable to be fast tracked for urgent inquiries.
To request for replacement of your testamur, the following documents must be attached to your application:
- A photographic proof of identity document (e.g. driver licence/passport).
- If you required a name change or your name appears incorrectly on your original testamur, please provide certified documentary evidence (e.g. certified copy of a change of name certificate if your name has changed or your birth certificate showing your correct name if an error was made on your original testamur).
- Once your form has been submitted, the Graduation team will review and be in touch to advise next steps for payment. Payment will be $100 for the replacement Testamur or $110 if domestic postage is required.
If you experience any problems or have any questions regarding this form, please email graduation@nd.edu.au.
