Notarize Your Passport in Minutes in Australia – Fast, Legal & Online Options

Need to notarize your passport for a visa application, legal contract, or embassy submission? You're not alone. Every day, thousands of Australians and visa applicants require certified passport copies for various legal and international purposes.

The good news? You can now notarize your passport in minutes in Australia—either in person, online, or even through a mobile notary who comes to you.

In this article, we break down the process step by step, explain your options, and show you how to book fast, legally valid, and hassle-free passport notarization services anywhere in Australia.


Why Do You Need to Notarize a Passport?

A notarized passport copy is often a requirement for:

  • Visa applications (student, partner, skilled migration)

  • Travel abroad or dual citizenship processes

  • Legal contracts and ID verification

  • Business dealings or government submissions

  • Embassy or consulate applications

Unlike a simple photocopy, a notarized passport copy confirms the document’s authenticity, ensuring it will be accepted by government departments, foreign embassies, courts, and educational institutions.


How to Notarize Your Passport in Australia

You can notarize your passport in three main ways:

In-Person with a Notary Public

Visit a local notary to:

  • Present a valid photo ID (driver’s licence, Medicare card, etc.)

  • Get a stamped and signed certified copy, recognized by law

Online Passport Notarization

Using secure video conferencing, you can:

  • Upload your passport and ID online

  • Join a real-time video session with a licensed notary

  • Receive a digitally notarized copy within minutes

Notarized Passports for Immigration and Visas

Australia's immigration system often requests notarized passport copies for:

  • Student visa documentation

  • Partner visa applications

  • Skilled migration (subclass 189/190)

  • Bridging visa and PR requests

  • Supporting ID for visa appeals and reviews

Tip: Always notarize both the photo ID page and any visa endorsement pages when submitting for immigration.


Embassy and Consulate-Ready Notarization

If you're submitting to a foreign consulate or applying for dual citizenship, your passport copy must be notarized and sometimes:

  • Translated and NAATI-certified

  • Accompanied by an affidavit or statutory declaration

  • Endorsed for international use with an apostille (optional for some countries)


Translated & Bilingual Passport Notarization

Have a non-English passport or supporting documents?

  • Get a NAATI-accredited translator to translate your passport

  • Use a notary public to certify both the original and translated copy

  • Perfect for embassy, immigration, or study abroad requirements

Some providers offer bundled translation + notarization services, making the process faster and more affordable.
