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.
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.
You can notarize your passport in three main ways:
Visit a local notary to:
Show your original passport
Present a valid photo ID (driver’s licence, Medicare card, etc.)
Get a stamped and signed certified copy, recognized by law
Using secure video conferencing, you can:
Upload your passport and ID online
Join a real-time video session with a licensed notary
