We authenticate vital, academic, and corporate records from all 50 states for legal use in Australia.
An apostille for Australia is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of U.S. public documents (such as FBI background checks, birth certificates, and marriage certificates) for use in Australia. Since both the United States and Australia are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Hague apostille is the only legal certification required by Australian authorities.
For state-issued vital records (birth, marriage, or divorce certificates), the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State where the document was originally recorded. For federal documents like FBI Background Checks, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
The Australian Department of Home Affairs requires official certified copies of vital records bearing state apostilles. FBI background checks submitted for visa purposes generally must be dated within 90 days.
Apostille certificates must remain permanently attached to the underlying document. Removing the staple invalidates the authentication for Australian legal use.
