About Apostille Express

Australian documents are our core expertise.

A Canberra-based document assistance service focused on getting Australian documents accepted overseas — and, where it's genuinely useful, helping with documents from abroad.

What we do

Preparation, lodgement and coordination.

We work every day with DFAT's legalisation process and Australian document requirements — checking eligibility, preparing request forms, lodging on our clients' behalf, coordinating notaries and embassies, and returning documents securely.

Where it adds real value, we also assist with overseas legalisation matters connected to Australia — always by assessment, and only where a reliable arrangement can be confirmed.

Our role, stated plainly

What we are — and what we're not.

We are

An independent service

A private business that prepares, lodges, coordinates and tracks your documents through each authority.

We are not

DFAT or an embassy

DFAT alone issues apostilles and authentication certificates for Australian documents. Embassies alone legalise documents for their countries.

We never

Promise outcomes we don't control

No guaranteed acceptance, approval or processing times — just accurate preparation and honest updates.

What you can expect

Standards we hold ourselves to.

  • Clear, separated pricing — our fee and government fees never blur together.
  • Checks before lodgement — avoidable rejections cost you time.
  • Real status updates — set by people when steps actually happen.
  • Confidentiality — documents handled by named staff and returned by tracked service.
  • The right professional — notaries public for overseas use, never a JP.
