Why Apostille Documents for Australia

If you need to use a UK document in Australia for a visa, business setup, marriage, driving licence exchange or family matter, it will need an Apostille certificate. UK certificates of incorporation, birth certificates, driving licences, passports and marriage certificates are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Australian use.

Australia is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 1995. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Australian High Commission is needed for the document to be accepted by Australian authorities.

No. Australian authorities accept apostilled UK documents in English without any further translation.

Yes. UK Companies House documents are regularly apostilled for Australian subsidiary and branch setup. They need solicitor certification before the FCDO will apostille them if they do not already contain a wet ink signature from a Companies House official.
