What is Australian Apostille?

An Australian apostille is an official certification issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) that authenticates Australian documents for international use in Hague Convention member countries.

Australia joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 1995, which allows Australian documents with apostille to be recognized in over 120 countries without embassy legalization.

Important Note:

In Australia, apostilles are issued centrally by DFAT, not by state authorities. All Australian documents regardless of which state they're from, must go through DFAT for apostille certification.
