An Apostille is a specific type of certification issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) certifying that a document is either an original Australian government document or a document that has been notarised by a Notary Public. An Apostille confirms the authenticity of the document's signature, seal, or stamp and the authority of the person or organisation that issued it. DFAT is the only body in Australia that can issue an Apostille.

An Apostille will only be recognised in a country that is a signatory to the Apostille Convention (Hague Apostille Convention). The Apostille Convention simplifies the process of authenticating documents for international use. Under this Convention, participating countries agree to recognise an Apostille as a valid certification for documents issued by authorities within the same country. Refer to our List of Countries Accepting an Apostille.

If the intended destination country is not a signatory to the Apostille Convention, then you may need to have your document "authenticated" by DFAT.

It depends on whether the document was originally issued electronically or in hard-copy.

Electronically
If the original document was originally issued electronically, simply upload the electronic document in our booking platform.

Hard-Copy
If the document was originally issued in hard-copy, we will send you a complimentary prepaid express post label by email if you are sending the original document from within Australia, or postage instructions if you are sending from overseas or directly from the issuer.
