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
  • ASIC Certificate of Registration of a Company
  • Birth Certificate
  • Certificate of Residency
  • Change of Name Certificate
  • Citizenship Certificate
  • Court Document
  • Death Certificate
  • Divorce Certificate
  • Document notarised by an Australian Notary Public
  • Fingerprint report
  • Marriage Certificate (excluding ceremonial certificate)
  • Relationship Certificate
  • Single Status or Record of No Result Certificate
  • Translated documents by an official National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) provided certain requirements are met.
  • University or TAFE Academic Degree

If you intend to only send a copy of a document issued by an Australian Government department (e.g. Passport, Australian Drivers Licence 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.

"I highly recommend Swift Notary. I reside in California and needed an Australian Apostille for a document, in a very short period of time. My situation was complex and Swift walked me through the process, timeline etc. They had questions for me and were persistent in contacting me via text , email and a realtime phone call.I was shocked at how they covered all update and communications on all those platforms."
