In respect of countries for which the Convention has come in to force, you no longer need to have your document legalised by an individual country’s diplomatic or consular service. Instead, you simply need to present your notarised document to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) which will check that the signature and seal provided by your Notary Public is authentic. Once the Notary’s signature and seal are verified, DFAT will place an Apostille on your document. An Apostille is a certificate/stamp that includes DFAT’s seal to show that the notarisation is authentic.

Public and private universities and colleges that offer a wide range of programs typically hold regional accreditation. To receive regional accreditation, a university must pass a peer review by faculty and administrators from similar institutions.
Another type of accreditation, national accreditation, is provided by accrediting agencies that are generally single-purpose, narrow in scope, or vocational in nature. Large public colleges and universities do not typically hold national accreditation, though they may have individual programs that are nationally accredited. San Diego University of California is proud to hold both regional and national accreditation.
