How to Apostille a document in Australia?

If you have an original document issued by an Australian Government department (e.g. Australian birth certificate, marriage certificate, death certificate, citizenship certificate etc) and you will be sending the original overseas, then the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in Australia can Apostille the document.

"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."
