Please bring your valid passport and your original documents to the appointment. Please ensure that documents relating to the 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 Australian Government neither guarantees the legal effectiveness of the notarised document or the accuracy of its content. Fees paid for notarial services are non-refundable.

Before requesting a notarial service, please make sure you know exactly what service you require. You should confirm this with the organisation that requires your documents. We are unable to advise you on which notarial service you need. Further information on notarial services can be found on the Smartraveller website.

Alternative Providers of Notarial Services in Myanmar

A Consular Officer is not a Justice of the Peace (JP) or Notary Public.

Please check with the recipient of your documents whether a signature by a Consular Officer is an acceptable substitute for a JP or Notary Public.  If the end recipient of your document specifies that it must be signed/witnessed by a Notary Public, please approach the local Notary Public in Myanmar.
