Send Legally Valid Documents to Greece with Apostille

Need to send documents to Greece?

Ensure you know how to send legally valid documents to Greece with apostille to avoid any delays.

If you’re sending personal or business documents to Greece, you’ll likely need to have them apostilled. Australia and Greece are both members of the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning documents from one country can be officially validated for use in the other.

Common Documents Requiring Apostille for Greece:

  • Personal Documents:
    • Birth certificates
    • Death certificates
    • Marriage certificates
    • Divorce certificates
    • Single status certificates
    • Change of name certificates
    • Passports
    • Driver’s licences
  • Education Documents:
    • School certificates
    • University degrees
    • Academic transcripts
  • Legal Documents:
    • Power of attorney
    • Affidavits
  • Medical Documents:
    • Medical certificates
    • Medical reports
  • Business Documents:
    • Company certificates
    • Financial reports
    • Contracts

Apostille Process for Original Government Documents:

Original Australian government documents, printed on special paper with watermarks and security features, can often be apostilled directly. This includes documents issued by:

  • Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (NSW)
  • Australian Federal Police (AFP)

Apostille for Other Documents:

For documents that aren’t original government documents or aren’t printed on special paper, you’ll typically need to have them notarised before apostilling. This ensures the authenticity of the document and the signature.

Important Note:

Once an original government document is apostilled, it may not be returned to you. If you need the original document for future use, consider obtaining multiple copies or having it notarised before apostille.
