You cannot order a new Testamur using the Hard Copy Testamurs online form.

When ordering a Replacement Testamur, certain documentation is required.

If you are placing an order because your original copy is damaged, you will need to post your original Testamur back prior to us processing your order for a replacement. Your original (damaged) Testamur will be destroyed at this time as only one can be in existence. Please email coursemanagement@cqu.edu.au or contact 13 27 86 for the postal address.

Original copy is lost

Please visit the Statutory Declarations Attorney General’s Department website to access the form and find information on who is an approved witness.
