Australian Educational Documents

Australian public universities

Foreign educational documents, including translations performed by an Australian accredited translator can only be apostilled/legalised in the country of issue.

University testamurs/ certificates/ AHEGS and transcripts can in most cases be apostilled or authenticated on the original document. However, some universities only issue one testamur so you may prefer to get a notarised copy prepared.

A notarised copy will be prepared once the Notary Public has been able to either sight the original document or verified your qualification/s with the issuing University. The verification process may be instantaneous if they have an online verification service or may take up to 28 days if it is a manual process.

The team at TranQuill will always encourage you to obtain a certified/ notarised copy to maintain your original University issued documents.
