Notary Public Services for Certifying and Attesting Australian Death Certificates

An Australian death certificate is an official document providing details recorded on the government register about a deceased person. As a renowned provider of notary public services, we specialize in attesting, certifying, and notarising Australian death certificates for use internationally, aiding clients in various situations that necessitate proof of death abroad.

Why Send a Death Certificate Abroad? People often seek our services when needing to send an Australian death certificate to another country. Common scenarios include:

• Addressing estate and inheritance matters in a foreign country.
• Managing property transactions or business dealings involving the deceased abroad.
• Facilitating legal proceedings or court actions in another country.
• Sending human remains to another nation.

Original vs Certified Copy: It’s crucial to confirm with the recipient or the destination country whether an original death certificate is required or if a certified copy suffices. Additionally, translation may be necessary if the destination country’s official language isn’t English.

Apostille Stamping and Legalisation: For international recognition and acceptance, an Australian death certificate generally needs an apostille stamp or must be authenticated and legalised. This can be done through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) depending on the destination country’s membership in the Apostille Convention. Notarisation by a notary public is essential if sending a certified copy instead of the original.

Obtaining Additional Death Certificates: While a death certificate is usually issued upon registration of death, additional or replacement certificates can be obtained, particularly for international use. These can be ordered from the relevant registry in any Australian state or territory. If needed, certificates can be delivered directly to our office for further processing on your behalf.
