The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) charges fees for authentication and apostille, depending on the number of documents.
Although the cost of authentication and apostille used to be different (also depending on whether those documents were bound or not) many years ago, DFAT now charges the same for both authentication and apostille.
For more information regarding the fees and charges for authentication and apostilles, please contact DFAT directly on 1300 935 260 or visit smartraveller.gov.au.
As a leading provider of notary public services, we also help clients who need to have their documents authenticated or stamped with an apostille.
