🇦🇺 Global Apostille · Source: Australia
Get Australian documents apostilled by DFAT for use in India, Germany, USA, Singapore, or any Hague country. Police checks, birth certificates, company documents.
In Australia, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is the sole Competent Authority for apostilles. All apostilles for Australian documents — regardless of whether the document was issued in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, or any other state — go through DFAT's centralised authentication service.
Before DFAT can apostille a document, it typically needs to be certified by an appropriate Australian official or notary public. For example, a birth certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages NSW needs to be a certified extract before DFAT processing. A police check from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) is already a government-issued document and can go directly to DFAT. DFAT offers both in-person lodgement in Canberra and agent-based services.
Australian apostille is heavily used in two directions: Australian companies or individuals needing DFAT apostille on their documents for use in India, Singapore, Germany, or other Hague countries; and Indian nationals who lived or worked in Australia needing Australian civil or employment records authenticated for Indian legal proceedings or third-country immigration applications.
A Hague apostille issued in this jurisdiction is recognised in all other Hague member countries without further embassy attestation.
We confirm whether the document needs prior certification by an Australian JP, notary public, or government official before DFAT submission.
