Yes, you do need to prove identity (ID) to us, by photo ID.<\/p>\n

This is usually by producing your passport, national ID card or Australian drivers licence for our inspection.<\/p>\n

Secondary ID includes your birth certificate, Centrelink or Medicare card.<\/p>\n

For simple matters \u2013 usually yes.\u00a0 For formal Apostille \/ Authentications \u2013 always yes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As much as you need to prove identity (ID) to us, formal proof is likely required by the recipient of your documents.\u00a0 If in doubt, ask a notary or lawyer in the destination country about what is needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Proof of ID is generally a notary-certified copy of your passport, national ID card or drivers licence.\u00a0 If the document to be notarised mentions an ID number, that is the one we need to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a general rule, countries that are party to the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents<\/em> require an apostille on documents that qualify as Australian public documents.<\/p>\n

A full list of countries that are party to this convention can be found at the Hague Conference on Private International Law website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a general rule, documents going to countries that are not party to the Hague Convention require an authentication.<\/p>\n

It is important to confirm the requirements with the foreign receiving authority as some countries impose specific requirements on how an authentication should be prepared.<\/p>\n

It can be done either in person at DFAT Brisbane or by post to the DFAT processing centre, Melbourne. <\/p>\n

It depends on the country, given the notarial branch of the legal profession is probably the oldest.<\/p>\n

In Australia and other common law countries the role of Notary bears similarities to both solicitor and JP, generally in regard to international certification and attestation but also in authentication and\/or drawing up documents.<\/p>\n

In civil law countries the notarial role is more domestic and inquisitorial in nature. For example, both buyer and seller will require the same notary to transact a land conveyance.<\/p>\n

Sometimes for simple work but not for complex work (such as a power of attorney), as this should be done by a notary or lawyer with knowledge of both law and procedure for the country in which the documents are to be used.\u00a0 It is best the notary or lawyer is in the destination country.\u00a0<\/p>\n
