Apostille for an Australian Death Certificate

If you are sending an original Australian Death Certificate to another country, then the original can be Apostilled directly by DFAT. The original Australian death certificate does not require notarisation by a Notary Public first.

What happens if I want to keep the original death certificate?

If you want to keep the original death certificate and only send a certified copy, the certified copy must be notarised by a Notary Public before it can be stamped with an Apostille by DFAT.

How Swift Apostille can help?

  • If you are sending the original Australian Death Certificate overseas: We can obtain an Apostille Certificate Stamp from DFAT. This is the fastest service in Australia as we attend DFAT daily for clients - no appointment required. We provide a fully managed DFAT Apostille Certificate service in Sydney.

How to obtain an Australian Death Certificate

If you wish to obtain an Australian Death Certificate you may apply through the relevant State or Territory Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. For your convenience, we have provided the links below:

If you are requesting a Death Certificate from the Registry solely for the purpose of sending it to another country, you can ask the Registry to send the Death Certificate directly to us to speed up the Apostille process.

"I can’t highlight enough how responsive they were with my numerous questions. They helped me ensure I had all the requirements to get my translated documents apostille in the fastest time possible in a clear and kind way."

"Swift Apostille runs a very efficient service for when you have an urgent document and have very limited time to go physically to DFAT Sydney office and spend easily 3 hours commuting to/from the city, or simply having a hard time making an appointment with DFAT within the next 2 months. The process is transparent and all done via Express Mail to and from (included in the service). I received my document back at home & Apostilled within 3 working days after sending. Very efficient. Thank you, Elle."
