如何在澳洲各州认证文件(Certify Documents)

众所周知,在澳洲申请学校、或者办理签证的时候,我们需要向学校/移民局提供certified(公证/认证) 文件。如果我们是中国毕业生好办,直接在中国的公证处办理出国公证。那么在澳洲毕业的高中生,申请大学;或者澳州毕业的大学生,申请硕士,或者申请各类签证的时候,我们怎么certify 文件呢,例如完成信,成绩单,学位证,雅思成绩,护照等等…….

游外精心整理了一份澳洲各州整个certify 文件的流程,让你轻松获得认证文件!

关于认证文件

What is a ‘certified copy’ of a document? 什么是认证文件?

A ‘certified copy’ is a copy of an original document such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate or proof of identity that has been authorised (or stamped) as being a true copy of an original.

“经认证的副本”是诸如出生证、结婚证或身份证明等被授权(或盖章)为原件的真实副本的原始文件的副本。

如何认证文件

在现实生活中,同学们去做认证的时候,找Justice of the peace (简称JP)-太平绅士找的比较多。他们在空余的时间,义务/免费给同学们见证文件。

澳洲华人俗称的太平绅士英文全称 “Justice of the Peace”,英文缩写“JP”。按照字典上的解释,中文翻译应该是“地方保安官”或“执法官”。

游外认为,更为贴近的意译应该为“民间公证人”。在澳洲办理各类行政、司法、社区事务时,经常需要提供相关证件或书面证据证明。但往往这些材料的正本又只有一份,因此需要有人证明影印件是否属实,政府部门没有足够的资源来处理这类繁杂琐碎的核证工作,故授权“民间公证人”。

那我们在什么地方可以找到他们呢?游外根据不同的州,如何找到他们,给网址贴出来。

好了,找到JP 之后,认证文件的程序就是,首先你要给你的原件扫描一份,打印出来,带着原件和复印件一起,去找JP 鉴定,并在复印件上面签字,盖章。

签好字,盖好章的复印件,扫描好,就可以交给学校或者移民局了。
