The certificates are often laminated and therefore need to be copied and notarised a true copy so that they can be submitted to DFAT and the intended destination country’s Embassies or Consulates.
A notarised certified copy is a copy of a primary document that has an endorsement and notary certificate on it.
Simply bring the original copy and your identity to us, and we will notarise it for you.

Required Documents
Documents or certificates issued by Australian official authorities must be taken to a Notary Public for verification against the originals.
For documents issued by various institutions, it is necessary to first confirm that the document can be verified by the relevant institution or organisation. The Notary Public must verify the document with the issuing party before it can be notarised.
The person needing the notarisation should be able to confirm in advance whether a translation is required, which is to be provided by a NAATI-accredited Level 3 translator in Australia and notarised together with the original document.
Required documents:
- Original document(s) requiring notarisation.
- The applicant’s valid passport.
