Attesting Australian Documents (FAQs)

Yes - Australia is a member of the Apostille Convention.

Australian documents can be legalized for use abroad with an Apostille Stamp when destined for other signatory countries without additional certification by the destination country.

When Australian documents are required for non-apostille countries, such as United Arab Emirates - Taiwan - Malaysia - Thailand - Qatar they need additional authentication by the embassy of the destination country.

Official documents that can be legalized in Australia with an Apostille stamp include birth, death, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, criminal record and police certificates, company registration and tax documents, court documents, university and academic diplomas, certificates signed by registered doctors etc., documents issued by government authorities. Other documents may require prior certification by a notary or other authority.

Documents required for submission to countries which have not acceded to the Apostille Convention will require additional attestation by the embassy of the recipient country.

Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Australian document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit an Australian birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.

Legalizing a document in Australia certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Australia and confirms the capacity of that official.

• Because Australia is a member of the Apostille Convention, Australian documents can be legalized by means of an Apostille Stamp when being submitted to countries that are members of the #TL13
• If an Australian is required for a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, it will need to be legalized both by Australian authorities and by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Australia or non-resident embassy accredited to Australia).
