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.
