Who can issue an Apostille?

DFAT is the only body in Australia that is authorised to issue Apostilles. 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 issues Apostilles through the passport office in each state and territory in Australia.

What documents can be Apostilled by DFAT?

DFAT will only Apostille an original Australian Government issued document or a document that has been notarised by a Notary public.

Original Australian Government issued documents that DFAT can Apostille include:

  • AFP National Police Certificate
  • Birth Certificate
  • Certificate of Registration of a Company
  • Certificate of Residency issued by the ATO
  • Citizenship Certificate
  • Court Document
  • Death Certificate
  • Divorce Certificate
  • Marriage Certificate (excluding ceremonial certificate)
  • NAATI Translated Document that meets the specific DFAT Requirements
  • Notarised Documents
  • Single Status or Record of No Result Certificate
  • University or TAFE Academic Degree

If your document is not one of the above documents then it will need to be notarised before being Apostilled by DFAT.
