We physically go to DFAT’s office in Melbourne CBD once or twice a week. Save time and hassle by letting us book an appointment with DFAT, travel for you to their Melbourne Passport Office to queue in line with dozens of people waiting, then go back to pick up the documents, send it to you (locally or to the destination country) or have you pick up the documents at our office when it suits you. In addition, you need to complete specific forms properly when applying for an Apostille or Authentication certification and if you do not complete the form correctly then you have to spend more time and money correcting it.

A notary public in Melbourne is a lawyer who is qualified as a notary public and appointed by the Supreme Court of Victoria. A Notary Public in Melbourne provides a range of notary services including notarization of legal documents which allows these documents to be recognised and used overseas.

A reliable notary public is someone who has been notarizing documents for many years. Our Notary Public Kin Wee Chua has been notarising documents for well over two decades. 

Documents would require notarisation if they are needed to be certified or have a notary sign the document to be recognised as a legally valid document in another country. To prepare a document for notarization, you need to have the documents signed in front of a notary public. 

Each document has different notarization requirements and therefore incurs a different cost. There are also fees incurred if the notary public is required to travel to you in Melbourne. It is best to contact our office for a quote. 

Only a notary public can notarize your documents. Further legalization may be required depending on your situation and it is advisable to speak to our Melbourne notary. 

Although we accept walk in services, you are more likely to have to wait or come back if the notary public is not available. We recommend you call us prior to coming to our office to reduce your wait time. 

Different notarization times or the processing cycle will vary depending on which country the documents are to be used for and your intended recipient’s requirements. We can usually notarize your documents on the same day if our notary public is available. In addition, we go to DFAT’s offices in Melbourne CBD multiple times a week to deliver and pick up documents. Therefore, we would recommend you engage our beginning-to-end services if you want the entire apostille certification or authentication certification process completed quickly. We also apply cost savings to you from having high volume arrangements with international courier companies if you require us to deliver documents by express international courier to your final destination.

The first step to obtain an Apostille is by having an Australian Notary Public Lawyer sign and/or provide a notarial certificate which results in the document being notarised. 

The second step involves either the notary public or you then go to DFAT to have an Apostille seal applied.
