Apostille and Authentication Services in Perth

We charge a fixed fee Apostille and Authentication service to lodge and collect your documents, no matter how many there are. We attend the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) multiple times a week and so there is a quick turn-around time and so we can generally obtain an Apostille and Authentication faster than the general public.

DFAT issues Apostille and Authentication certificates which verify the authenticity of the signature, seal, or stamp on a public document. Ryan is experienced and can guide you on whether the destination country requires an Apostille or Authentication.

Common documents (but not a definitive list) that are lodged for an Apostille and Authentication are:

• Personal Documents: Power of Attorney, Affidavit and fingerprint form.
• Educational Documents: University degrees, academic transcripts, and college diplomas.
• Corporate Documents: ASIC company extracts, powers of attorney, commercial contracts, and board resolution.

Why use us for DFAT lodgement?

1. Bypass Weeks of Delays: The general public must book appointments weeks in advance. We attend DFAT multiple times a week.
2. Double the Office Visits in Perth City: DFAT takes 2–3 business days to process paperwork, requiring two separate trips to their office. We handle both the lodgement and collection for you.

An Apostille is used only for countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Authentication is used for countries that are not part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Authentication involves verifying the document through DFAT and then legalising it through the foreign embassy or consulate of the destination country.
