Mexico: Apostille and signature legalisation guidance in Australia

  • Checked 24 October 2026

Check with the office. The official pages for this service leave out some details, or are older than a year. Use this page as a starting point and confirm fees and documents before you apply.

Because Australia and Mexico are both in the Hague Apostille Convention, public documents need an apostille rather than embassy legalisation. The embassy explains which authority apostilles which document; its tariff still lists a fee for legalising signatures or stamps.

Where to apply in Australia

Consular Section of the Embassy of Mexico, 14 Perth Avenue, Yarralumla, Canberra ACT. Honorary consulates in Brisbane and Carnegie (Melbourne) do not perform these procedures on the embassy pages read.

Contact details for every office are on the page of the embassy and consulates of Mexico.

How to apply

Get Australian documents apostilled by DFAT, Mexican federal documents by the Secretaria de Gobernacion, and Mexican state documents by the relevant state government. Third-country documents must be checked with that country's consular authorities.
