Apostille Support

What is document legalisation?

An apostille is an internationally recognised certificate issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), authenticating the signature or seal on an Australian public document so it can be legally used in any of the 125+ countries that have signed the 1961 Hague Convention.

Whether you are preparing for an overseas marriage, foreign property transaction, work visa, international study, or registering a business abroad — we manage the end-to-end apostille process so your documents are accepted, first time, by the receiving authority overseas.

Our Process

How We Help You Get Your Apostille

From your first email to the apostilled document in your hand — handled by one team, one fixed fee. Four clear steps.

01

Confirm Your Requirements

Send us your document list and destination country. We confirm the correct pathway — apostille or authentication — and provide a fixed all-inclusive quote.

02

Notarise in Our Chambers

A 20–40 minute appointment at our Melbourne CBD office. Bring photo ID and originals; we witness, certify and apply the notarial seal on the spot.

03

Hand-Deliver to DFAT

Your document is walked in person to the DFAT Australian Passport Office — never posted into a queue. The apostille is issued and returned to us.
