Assistance for Fijians
Legalisation of Government Documents
All documents issued by Fiji Government Ministries & Departments (eg. Registry of Marriage Certificates, Birth Certificates and Educational Certificates from local government schools) in their original text will be directly legalised by MFA& IC. For legalisation of true copies, please present the photocopy together with the original document for verification.
Non-government documents (foreign / private / company documents) must be first referred to a Notary Public (any law firm offering notarial services) for notarisation and certification before presenting documents at MFA & IC for legalisation.
Authentication of Public Documents: Apostille or Certificate of Authentication
What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is an authentication of a public document issued pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents.
The Convention provides for the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention.
When a document is to be used in a foreign country, it may be necessary to have the document authenticated. An authentication certifies the signature and the capacity of the official who has executed the document.
The authentication may also authenticate the seal of the official.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation authenticates public documents originating in the territory of the Republic of Fiji for use in foreign countries.
Only public documents issued by the Government of the Republic of Fiji which are signed by a notary public or other public official (i.e. Court Clerk, Registrar General, Immigration or other State official), will be authenticated.
The country of destination determines whether the authentication is in the form of an "Apostille" or a "Certificate of Authentication".
What type of certification must my document(s) contain before requesting an Apostille or a Certificate of Authentication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation?
Public Documents:
The Apostille Stamp applies only to public documents. The main examples of public documents for which Apostille are issued in practice include:
Registry Documents:
Education Documents:
Immigration: (Fiji passports only)
Other Documents:
Documents which do not require Apostille Stamp / Certificates of Authentication:
