What is an Apostille in Australia?

An Apostille is a certification issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) that confirms the authenticity of a document’s signature, seal, or stamp and the authority of the issuing body.

DFAT can issue an Apostille for:

  • Original Australian government-issued documents, or
  • Documents that have been notarised by an Australian Notary Public

Apostilles are used for documents required in countries that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention.

Who can issue an Apostille in Australia?

DFAT is the only authority in Australia authorised to issue Apostilles.
Apostilles are issued through DFAT passport offices located in Australian capital cities.

Swift Apostille manages this process on behalf of Brisbane and Queensland clients, removing the need to attend DFAT in person.

If your destination country does not accept Apostilles

If the destination country is not a signatory to the Apostille Convention, your document may need to be authenticated by DFAT instead. We can advise you on the correct process during booking.

"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."
