Consular Services
Your document may require authentication or legalisation by the diplomatic representation of the country it is intended for within Australia.
Consulates can be challenging to work with if you are unfamiliar with the fees and procedures for legalisation, which can vary from country to country. We have extensive experience in document legalisation and are familiar with the specific requirements from embassies and consulates.
Before accepting documents for legalisation, embassies and consulates typically require authentication from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
It is important to note that fees and processing times set by consulates are subject to change. While we strive to provide accurate quotes, these are only valid at the time of quotation and may change depending on the time of legalisation.
Our fees are set in accordance with the scale of charges Recommended by the Society of Notaries of New South Wales Inc. 1st January 2022
