What we need from you
- A recent original certificate or certified extract with a handwritten signature and seal (we can order a fresh one from the registry in most countries)
- Country of issue, destination country and purpose – so we can check whether an apostille is needed at all
- Optional: target language for a sworn translation
Most recipients want a sworn translation into their language. CIEC states accept the international multilingual extract (Formule A) without translation.
Australia birth certificate apostille: questions
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) passport offices. Issued by: State Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages
Yes. The apostille must be issued in Australia, but you do not have to be there: we organise a suitable original where possible, the submission to the competent authority and delivery of the apostilled birth certificate anywhere. The notary reviews your application first.
It is accepted in every other Convention country. Non-Convention countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait need consular legalisation instead.
The HCCH record lists: $102 Australian dollars (effective January 2025). Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately in your quote.
No. An apostille certifies the signature of the official who issued the document, so only the issuing country can attach it. A birth certificate from Colombia is apostilled in Colombia even if you live in Berlin. That is exactly what Notaryzer organises – through the online e-apostille systems where they exist, otherwise through our partners on site.
Yes. The apostille is attached to the original certificate or a certified extract freshly issued by the registry, never to a photocopy or a scan. Where the registry issues certificates online (Colombia, Türkiye, Ukraine, Spain, parts of the US), the electronic version can carry an electronic apostille.
The Convention sets no limit, but many destination countries – Türkiye, Italy for marriages, most of Latin America, the Gulf states – want a certificate issued within the last six months. We recommend ordering a fresh certificate together with the apostille.
