DFAT Authentication for an Australian Death Certificate

If you are sending an original Australian Death Certificate to another country, then the original can be Authenticated directly by DFAT. The original Australian death certificate does not require notarisation by a Notary Public first.

What happens if I want to keep the original death certificate?

If you want to keep the original death certificate and only send a certified copy, the certified copy must be notarised by an Australian Notary Public before it can be Authenticated by DFAT.

How to obtain an Australian Death Certificate
