Melbourne Passport Office Processes The Legalisations Of Documents (Apostilles And Authentications Throughout Australia
Did you know that the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Melbourne Passport Office now processes the legalisations of documents throughout Australia (current as of 30 November 2023). In this respect, if you are notarising your documents in NSW or QLD, the documents will need to be posted to the Melbourne Passport Office for processing if you are wanting to apostille or authentication of your documents for use outside of Australia.
The benefits of using a Melbourne Notary Public to complete your notarisation of Australian documents is now greater than ever, including for university testamurs or degree certificates, employment letters, utility bills and Australian Government issued documents. By using a notary public or public notary based in Melbourne, you are likely to be able to have your documents notarised and legalised with apostille or authenticated stamp much faster as there is priority of legalisation for documents delivered in person. Our notary public in Melbourne CBD is conveniently located around three blocks away from the Melbourne Passport Office and our staff regularly attend DFAT’s Melbourne office to complete the legalisation of documents.
