We can have your Australian Birth Certificate stamped with an Apostille by DFAT - no DFAT Apostille appointment required. We manage the application and appointment process from start to finish. Book your Apostille online instantly. We will attend DFAT the same day we receive the birth certificate.

If you will be sending the original Australian Marriage Certificate overseas, then no notarisation of the original Australian Marriage Certificate is required. The original Australian Marriage Certificate can be Apostilled directly by DFAT.

How Swift Notary can help

  • prove you are married
  • apply for a visa

  • provide supporting evidence for travel consent documentation
  • provide supporting evidence for inheritance claims.

Swift Notary offers a streamlined process. Swift Notary can Notarise an Australian Marriage Certificate, have it Apostilled or Authenticated by DFAT and, if required, legalised by the foreign Embassy or Consulate in Sydney ASAP. We can send the completed documents to you in Australia or overseas. To get started, visit Swift Notary.

How to obtain an Australian Marriage Certificate

You should receive a marriage certificate from the relevant State or Territory Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages after you register your marriage. You can apply for additional or replacement marriage certificates. For your convenience, we have provided the links below to order an additional or replacement marriage certificate:

If you are requesting a Marriage Certificate from the Registry solely for the purpose of sending it to another country, you can ask the Registry to send the Marriage Certificate directly to us to speed up the Notarising and Apostille/Authentication process.
