​

What is a Notary Public?

​

A Notary Public is a senior legal practitioner appointed to authenticate documents for use outside Australia.

Many overseas governments, financial institutions, courts and organisations require documents to be notarised before they will be accepted.

​

Depending on the country in which the documents will be used, notarisation may also need to be followed by an Apostille or Authentication through the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

​

Where appropriate, we can explain these additional requirements and assist you through the process.

​

Preparing for Your Appointment

 

To assist us in completing your notarial matter efficiently, you should bring:

​

• The original documents requiring notarisation

• Valid photo identification, such as a passport or driver's licence

• Any instructions provided by the overseas authority requesting the documents

• Details of the country in which the documents will be used

 

Different countries have different documentary requirements. Providing this information in advance allows us to ensure the correct notarial process is followed.

​

Apostilles and Authentication

 

Some overseas authorities require additional certification after a document has been notarised.

​

Depending on the destination country, this may involve obtaining either an Apostille or Authentication certificate from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

​

We can advise whether these additional steps are likely to be required and explain the process involved.
