Australia has been in the Apostille Convention since 16 March 1995, according to Wikipedia's list of parties. That means a U.S. public document headed there usually carries an apostille, not an embassy legalization, though the office receiving it decides. From Australia, we can notarize such a document by video only when it also has a U.S. connection, such as U.S. property or a U.S. court or agency matter. See [apostille services](/notary/apostille-services) for documents going the other way. Embassy option ## The U.S. embassy in Canberra Canberra is the seat of the U.S. Embassy.
