Who can issue an Apostille?

DFAT is the only body in Australia that is authorised to issue Apostilles. An Apostille stamp confirms the authenticity of the document's signature, seal or stamp and the authority of the person or organisation that issued it. DFAT issues Apostille stamps through the passport office.

We lodge all documents for Apostille with DFAT in WA as the Perth DFAT office provides the fastest turnaround time for an Apostille 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. An Australian Government issued document includes:

• AFP National Police Certificate
• 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

Please note that some of the above documents must be notarised by an Australian Notary Public before being accepted by DFAT for Apostille. This occurs where the original Australian government issued document does not have a signature or seal of the relevant government department or issuing institution. An example includes academic transcripts. DFAT also has specific requirements for some of the documents which must be met before the document can be accepted by DFAT for Apostille. Our booking platform will guide you through the process.

If your document is not an original Australian Government issued document then it will need to be notarised before being Apostilled by DFAT.
