    STEP 2.  Destination Country

    Where are you going to be sending/using your documents? (including embassy/consulate/foreign office)
    Documents used in Australia generally do NOT need to be notarised and can be witnessed or certified by other prescribed witnesses (ie, Justice of the Peace). However, if you are sending your documents to a foreign embassy or consulate in Australia, this is still considered as sending your documents to another country (not Australia) and you should re-select the relevant country.
    Please call our office on 02 9687 8885 between 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) if you have any questions regarding this notice.

    STEP 3.  Notary Work

    Do you need us to witness or certify your documents?
    Please choose carefully. Your choice changes the available options in this quoting tool and will lead to incorrect quotes if you chose incorrectly.
    'Witnessing' means you sign a document in front of us.
    'Certifying' means we verify the authenticity or certify a copy of a document.

    CERTIFYING

    We are only able to certify Australian documents or locally accepted foreign documents (ie, foreign passport). We cannot certify copies of any other documents from other countries. We will only certify documents issued by non-government organisations after we have verified the documents with the issuing organisation. You must provide us with original documents.

    WITNESSING

    'Witnessing' requires the person to personally sign in front of the notary. At the time of signing, they must prove their identity with photographic identification documents such as a passport or an Australian driver's licence. Our office does not provide 'additional witnesses' and the notary does not require those witnesses to be present unless it is a requirement of the document or the destination country.
    How many people signing the documents?

    STEP 4.  Document Type

    What type of documents do you need to notarise?
    SCROLL DOWN. Use "Ctrl" or "⌘" to make multiple selections. It is important that you choose the most relevant type of document(s) as this will assist us in providing the most accurate quote in response to your enquiry.

    Some documents must also be countersigned by the Indian Consulate / VFS. You should check with whoever you are dealing with in India (preferably your lawyer) whether this is required. If so, check with VFS as to whether your documents must also be stamped with an apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade after they have been notarised. Unfortunately, our clients sending documents to India have experienced all different variations of the requirements and yet they all seem to be acceptable - so obtain the advice from India first (preferably from your lawyer).

    Documents intended for Mauritius generally also need to be stamped with an apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade after they have been notarised.

    Currently, the Chinese Embassy and its consulates will not accept or recognise documents intended for Hong Kong or Macau.

If you are still unsure, please check with your lawyer in Hong Kong or Macau before proceeding further or submitting this form.

    Documents intended for China must be authenticated by the Department of Foreign Affairs and then authenticated by the Chinese Consulate before they will be acceptable in China.
