Some authorities may not recognise or accept a foreign document until it is legalised. The Health Certificate and other documents required for the importation of birds into the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela may need to be legalised by an Apostille of the Australian Government or authenticated by the Venezuelan Consulate in Australia.

Refer to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s Smartraveller website for more information about how to have your Australian documents legalised for use overseas.
