How to Verify an Apostille Issued by DFAT?

You can verify an Australia Apostille issued by DFAT is legitimate by visiting the DFAT online verification system: Verify an Australia Apostille Issued by DFAT.

Only Apostilles issued on or after 14 December 2015 can be verified on this site. Enter the Apostille number and the date of issue. If the Apostille can be verified against the Apostille Register, DFAT will display the results, including the Apostille number, data of issue, who the original document was signed by and their seal/stamp of authority, the DFAT issuing officer and where it was issued at.

What is an Apostille Certificate?

The Australia Government legalises documents for countries that are members of the Apostille Convention by issuing an Apostille Certificate. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), through the Australia Passport Office in each capital city in Australia, will certify that a signature, stamp or seal on an official Australian public document is genuine by checking it against the specimen held on file. This is called an Apostille Certificate or Apostille Stamp.

"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."
