Notarials

All services are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please read the requirements, and make an appointment here when ready.

All parties signing the documents must appear in person. However, the Attorney in Fact (AIF) for powers of attorney is not required to appear before the consular officials, and may sign after the receipt of the document.

When person/s executing the document could not personally appear before a Consular Officer at the Consulate Office, the document should be Notarized by a Notary Public and Apostillized by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and submitted directly to the Philippines without passing through the Philippine Consulate for authentication.

DOCUMENTS ISSUED IN AUSTRALIA:

Documents that are executed, signed, or issued in Australia such as school records, marriage/birth/death certificates, etc., must bear an Apostille Certificate from the competent authority of Australia, in order for the documents be accorded legal effect in the Philippines.

Australian Passport Office Legalisation Services of the State, where the document is executed, has the competent authority to issue an Apostille Certificate.

The Consulate receives payment in cash in AUD only.
