Australian documents for Albania

• Apostilles on Australian documents are issued by DFAT, not by the Albanian Embassy.
• Translations must be done by a NAATI-certified translator; the translator's signature is then apostilled.
• Australian birth, marriage or death certificates need an Apostille to be registered with the Civil Registry in Albania.

Passports

• According to the Embassy's page, biometric passports are not issued in Canberra; you apply in Albania or at the missions it lists. Ask the Embassy about your case.
