Notarial services provided by the Embassy in relation

to assessment of qualifications
These services are onlyprovidedto Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents
or for cases where the documents are Australian in origin or for use in, or requested
by Australia.
Notarial services include:

Authentications

Certifying Copies of original documents

Witnessing Signatures on certain documents

Binding documents presented for Authenticationor Certification

In addition to the above listed services, Post can also endorse photographs provided
that applicants provide current identity documents.
It is vital that you confirm the exact notarial service requirements required from
the authority/agency where you will present the document, before attending the
Australian Embassy. Unfortunately, clients have often requested incorrect,
unnecessary or additional notarial services from Australian embassies overseas
because they did not fully understand the requirements of the notarial service required
from the authority/agency where the documents will be presented.
The onus is on yourself, as the client, to advise us of your exact requirements. We
are unable to waive fees for services you may have requested in error.
Authenticating documents:
Authentication is when we verify a signature, stamp or seal on documents. Once
verified, we stamp and sign the original document confirming that we have verified
the signature or seal on the document.Official local documents (such as educational
certificates) must be authenticated first by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Certifying photocopies of documents:

Australian Embassy consular officers can also certify photocopies of documents, in

either English or Arabic, confirming that the photocopy is a true copy of an original
document sighted. Australian Embassy consular staff will make all copies from
original documents presented by clients. Unfortunately, photocopies provided by
clients cannot be certified. Accordingly, ensure that you present the original
document(s) to be photocopied for obtaining a certified true copy.
Witnessing signatures on documents:
Australian Embassy consular officers can witness signatures on documents. You must
bring in the unsigned document. You will be asked to provide original identity
documents (such as your passport or drivers licence) that include your full name,
photo, and preferably your signature
Binding services:
This involves tying the pages of the document together with ribbon
rather than stapling them, and placing a dry seal over the ends of
the ribbon on a red wafer seal. Binding services are available in
conjunction with the provision of another notarial service (e.g. as
part of the provision of an authentication). Extra fee will be applied
for binding.Binding is made to ensure that no pages will be added
to/removed from a single multi-page document.
Endorsement of photographs:
In order to have your photo endorsed/certified, you need to attend
the Embassy in person and present your photo along with a photo ID
(preferably your passport). Please note that the only wording we
can use to endorse photos is This is a true likeness of (your full
name).

The following fees apply for providing notarial services:

Authentication: AUD 20 per document

Witnessing Signatures: AUD 20 per signature

Binding documents: AUD 20 per document

Endorsement of photographs: AUD 30 per photo

All fees must be paid in cash in Egyptian Pounds according to the
