Register with us

You start the attestation process by registering your details, with either a new or existing account.

This means contacting the individual, business, organisation, educational institution, or government agency directly. Ask them if you must get your document legalised before they'll accept it.

Ta Lent Yum

I got my Bachelor attested for a contract I was starting in Dubai and I can’t express how much simpler it is to go through these guys. We started to do it ourselves and we could have saved so much time and stress if we came here first. They took care of the whole thing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Attestations don’t have to be hard!

What is Attestation?

Attestation is where an Australian document is legalised and recognised to be used overseas. This process is carried out for countries that are not a party to the Hague Convention. The document/s must first be notarised by an Australian public notary, authenticated by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and subsequently attested by the relevant Embassy/Consulate within Australia.

What is an Apostille?

Apostille is where an Australian document is legalised and recognised to be used overseas for countries that are a party to the Hague Convention. The document/s must first be notarised by an Australian public notary, and are then Apostilled by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Documents which are apostilled for use in these countries do not generally require any further legalisation from individual embassies or consulates. Once a document is apostilled it is able to be used in any Hague convention country.

Why do I need it?

In order for foreign authorities to verify the authenticity of your documents.

How much does it cost?

Cost can vary depending on the country for which you require your documents legalised.

How long does it take?

Applying for an apostille can take as little as 3 days. However, applying to have your documents attested by the relevant Embassy/Consulate usually takes between 8-10 working days from receipt of the original documents (and academic verification for the attestation of university degrees).
