If you would like to get your documents authenticated for DFAT in-person at the Student Centre, you will need to book an in-person appointment with the Student Centre. To do this, submit an enquiry online and let us know you’d like your documents authenticated. We will then send you a booking link, so you can book an appointment. Without an appointment, you will not be able to have your documents DFAT authenticated in person at the Student Centre.
Alternatively, you can call us to book an appointment.
Australian documents being used overseas sometimes need additional government legalisation to ensure that they meet the requirements of foreign governments. DFAT provides an authentication and apostille service for this purpose.
As a precaution, we’re currently closed for in-person enquiries.
