An Apostille Certificate & International Document Legalisation Service
Most Australian public/government or notarised private/documents to be recognised and accepted by overseas businesses, governments or Courts... must be authenticated or "legalised"… that is, formally proved valid and genuine.
An Apostille Certificate is a short and simple form of legalisation, but available only to those countries which are signatories to The Hague Convention.
If not a signatory to The Hague Convention, full document legalisation by the foreign country's Embassy or Consulate in Australia is required in place of an Apostille Certificate.
How to Order
What does an apostille look like?
