Notarial Services

 

 

If your foreign passport information was compromised due to a data breach at Latitude Financial Services, they will directly contact you. The organisation is continuing its investigation to determine the full scope of the attack.

However, compromised passports are still valid for international travel; customers whose passports have been affected are advised to contact the government that issued the passport for guidance.

It is also recommended to adhere to regulations regarding the protection of personal information, the prevention of fraud, and the detection of identity theft.

Applications for notarial services are by appointment only. Before booking your appointment, please contact us at [email protected] to confirm that we can provide the notarial service.

Please note that notarial services for Peru and Bolivia can only be performed at the Australian Embassy in Lima.

 

Please ensure that documents relating to notarial services you require from the Australian Embassy, are presented in the correct form and that you provide the correct instructions for the notarial service you require. If you are unsure of the legislative requirements relating to the notarial service you require, you should seek independent legal advice. Please note that neither the Australian Government nor the Australian Embassy in Lima guarantees the legal effectiveness of the notarised document or the accuracy of its content.  Fees paid for notarial services are non-refundable.
