DFAT can Apostille Australian government issued documents, NAATI translated documents or documents notarised by an Australian Notary Public.

We can obtain an Apostille from DFAT for you. No need to book a DFAT appointment. We attend DFAT daily for clients. To book online instantly, follow this link.

Original documents which DFAT can Apostille

DFAT can Apostille the following documents:

  • AFP National Police Certificates
  • Australian University Degree available on My eQuals
  • Australian University Transcript available on My eQuals
  • ASIC Certificate of Registration of a Company
  • Birth Certificate
  • Certificate of Free Sale issued by the TGA
  • Certificate of Residency issued by the ATO
  • Change of Name Certificate
  • Citizenship Certificate
  • Court Document
  • Death Certificate
  • Divorce Order
  • Marriage Certificate
  • Notarised Document
  • Single Status or Record of No Result Certificate
  • NAATI Translated Document

If you intend to only send a copy of a document issued by an Australian Government department (e.g. Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate etc) overseas or a document not issued by an Australian Government department, then you must have the document notarised by a Notary Public before DFAT will issue you with an Apostille.
