How much is the cost of Apostille stamp in Australia?

The cost of each Apostille stamp from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is currently $102. DFAT issues Apostilles through the passport office in each Australia State and Territory capital city.

What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a specific type of certification issued by DFAT in Australia certifying that a document is either an original Australian government issued 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 in Australia that issued it.

Who can issue an Apostille?

DFAT is the only authority in Australia that can issue an Apostille.

How long does it take to get an Apostille?

The current processing time for an Apostille by DFAT is up to 3 business days.
