We provide low-cost fixed-fee fast turnaround urgent apostille services for
- Australian public documents; and
- Documents (including Australian private documents) notarised by our notary public.
In Australia, the issuing authority for the apostille is the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)*.
*Anyone offering apostille services must obtain the apostille from DFAT. Any document claiming to be an apostille but not issued by DFAT is not legally valid and won’t be recognised in the intended destination country.
What do we do for you?
Our apostille services include:
- Lodging your documents with DFAT to be stamped with an apostille;
- Paying the apostille fee;
- Collecting your documents from DFAT once they have been stamped with an apostille; and
- Making your documents available for collection or arranging delivery.
Why use our apostille services?
You should use our apostille services because:
- We provide a fast turnaround.
- We handle the hassles of lodgment and collection.
- We minimise the risk of damage or loss in transit.
- Whenever required, we also provide notary services.
- We can also arrange for return delivery to your choice of destination.
Can you make your own arrangements with DFAT?
Yes, of course. You can make your own arrangements with DFAT. However, appointment waiting times and availability can be lengthy, apostille processing times can be unpredictable, visiting DFAT can be a hassle and time-consuming, and submitting your documents by post can be uncertain and risky. Instead, many of our clients choose to benefit from the certainty, speed and peace of mind of our apostille services.
