Australia issuing baseline
Australia is the main full-service issuing lane because the path can start from DFAT-ready public documents, notarially prepared private documents, or company and academic records depending on the file.
Official baseline
- DFAT handles authentications and apostilles for eligible Australian public documents and notarised documents
- Australian private documents usually require proper notarisation before DFAT will act on them
- University, ASIC, ATO, AFP, court, and civil-registry material each has its own workable source format
EGS intake screening
- Current scan showing the exact document form and issuing source
- Destination country and receiving-side purpose
- Check whether the client can release originals, obtain fresh issue, or proceed by notarial copy
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.
Common document types / examples
- Birth / marriage / change-of-name certificates
- AFP police checks / ATO certificates / court documents
- Degree certificates / transcripts / testamurs
- ASIC extracts / company records / powers of attorney
Expedite position
Australia-issued matters are often the most workable for urgent handling, but speed still depends on the file already being in the correct upstream form.
