What Are Notarial/Legalisation services?
Do I need to make an appointment?
Do I need to come in to Australia House or can I send my documents in the mail?
Please note that this option only applies to documents that do not require you to sign in front of a consular official.
You do not need to attend in person to have your documents certified, an apostille attached to original documents or for a Certificate of no Impediment to be issued. Please note that apostilles on electronic copies MUST be done in person. We recommend sending documents by recorded or special delivery. We make every attempt to return your documents within 5 business days of receipt. Do not send items by Courier - they will be rejected.
Please send your original documents to the following address:-
Consular Section
Australian High Commission
Australia House
Strand London WC2B 4LA
Please include:-
• A covering letter outlining the number of copies you require as well as instructions to certify documents
• A self addressed reply paid envelope - preferably recorded or special delivery
• Your daytime contact number and/or email address
• A completed credit/debit card authorisation payment slip (please note we do not accept bank cheques). For a credit/debit card authorisation payment slip please click here.
