An Apostille is a stamp or letter requested by certain overseas authorities to authenticate a document as genuine, thereby legalising it for use in another country.

British Documents

British documents can only be legalised by the Legalisation Office at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London.  The British High Commission cannot provide apostilles or legalise documents.

Australian Documents

You should contact the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. British authorities cannot legalise Australian documents.

Certifying documents

Unfortunately neither the British High Commission nor our consulates in Australia are able to certify copies of original documents. You should seek professional legal advice.
