Australia-issued degree certificates
Australian tertiary documents can be legalised directly if they are original university documents, but the verification standard is stricter for copy routes than many clients realise.
- DFAT can legalise original Australian tertiary documents issued by universities
- For notarised copies, the notary must verify the original record with the issuing institution; a simple “true copy” statement is not enough
- If the client does not want the original degree marked, a notarised copy can be used instead
- Degree certificate scan or original sufficient to confirm award details
- Passport bio page
- If transcript or graduation evidence may also be needed, review the full academic set early
This screening is for preliminary route assessment only and is not legal advice. Original documents may still be required depending on document type, issuing authority, destination, and receiving-side requirements.
- Degree certificate / testamur / graduation certificate
- Academic transcript
- Letter of completion / graduation letter
- Enrollment letter / student status letter
- Offer letter / admission letter
Australian academic routes can be workable where the university-issued document is already clean. If institution verification or supporting evidence still needs to be assembled, urgency becomes less reliable.
