Apostille Birth, Death and Marriage Certificates in Australia for use in Australia and abroad
We attest Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates issued in Australia with Apostille stamps from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and from Australian High Commissions and Embassies.
Birth and marriage and death certificates issued by Australian States can be officially legalized for use abroad with an Apostille Stamp or Authentication Certificate.
Authorities of countries that have signed the 
Hague Apostille Convention will recognise the Apostille directly as confirmation of authenticity. Otherwise, the authentication must be confirmed by the destination country's embassy in Canberra.
See list of Apostille Convention Countries
To legalize an Australian Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate or other civil status certificate, an original certificate is required - the certificate must be issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in the state where the event took place (New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, Northern Territory, Southern Australia, Western Australia).

Certified translations of Australian death, marriage and birth certificates
When presenting an Australian marriage or birth certificate in a country which does not have English as an official language, then a certified translation may be required. A translation can be done in Australia by a NAAT-certified translator and then legalized for use abroad with an Apostille stamp from DFAT; otherwise, a sworn translation could be done in the country where the certificate is due to be presented.
Isarey works with local notaries and sworn translators in a wide range of destination countries. We'll take care of the entire legalization and translation process, so that your certificates are correctly translated and ready to submit:
