Frequently asked questions

Yes, we offer Apostille services for Australian documents needed in China including Hong Kong and Macau.

Many foreign governments require official documentation to be attested by its embassy before it can be of use. Common documents such as university degrees, birth and marriage certificates and National Police Certificates may need to be attested by a qualified Australian notary for use overseas.​

Further info:

None whatsoever. We do not even charge for disbursements. Our fixed fee is all you need to pay. Any additional cost will be DHL costs to your overseas destination.

The processing time commences when we receive all your documents for attestation. We notarise your documents within 24 hours and send them via Express Post to DFAT for authentication. Given that all authentications are now being processed through DFAT Melbourne only, the process can take up to 4 weeks. DFAT Melbourne will consider urgent applications on a case by case basis subject to providing relevant documents in support, e.g. confirmed travel booking, employment contract for commencement of work etc.

After completion of the DFAT authentication process, the next step is to send your documents to the relevant embassy for attestation. Depending on the embassy, attestation may take up to 7 business days.

At our end, while we will work at lightning speed to process your documents, we cannot guarantee the processing times of DFAT or the embassies.

We take these incidents very seriously. We will immediately cease the authentication process and report the purported holder of the document to the relevant authorities for further civil and criminal actions.

We start work as soon as you upload your documents and pay, so there is no refund available.

Australian Education documents

If you plan on living and working overseas, continuing your education or having your education officially recognised, you will require authenticated education documents such as your University Degrees, HSC and TAFE certificates etc.

There are several types of Australian education certificates from High School Certificates (HSC) issued by a State’s Board of Studies to degrees from Australian public universities. The type of education certificate and the location it needs to be used will determine the process of verification, notarisation, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) authentication and attestation from respective foreign embassies or consulates, if required.

Public

Public documents are usually issued by the relevant Australian government department or agency, e.g. birth certificates are issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages and police clearance certificates by the Australian Federal Police or state police.

Australian government documents are usually notarised, authenticated and attested by a foreign embassy/consulate to be used formally in the relevant foreign country, e.g. in support of a work visa application.

Corporate

Corporate documents such as shareholders agreements, partnership agreements, and company constitutions and must be correctly authenticated in order to use them overseas.

Corporate documents can range from documents issued by corporations, e.g. deed of assignments, statutory declarations to those issued by government departments or agencies, e.g. ASIC reports and ATO tax statements. If corporate documents are to be attested for intended use overseas, e.g. in the UAE, the fees are dependent on the type of document to be attested. It is advisable to confirm before ordering if the type of document is indeed required for use in the foreign country given the higher fees imposed by respective embassies or consulates.

Personal

Personal documents can include documents for identification purposes, e.g. your current passport, or a more formal document in the form of a Power of Attorney or Statutory Declaration.

The intended use of your personal documents will determine the type of services you require, e.g. notary to witness your Power of Attorney for use overseas or notarisation, authentication and attestation of a copy of your current passport to support your visa application for work in a foreign country.
