Why Australia Requires This Document
- Universities including Melbourne, Sydney, ANU mandate certified translation plus embassy stamp before issuing I-20 / CAS / Letter of Acceptance.
- The Subclass 500 (Student) adjudicator inspects House Registration to validate genuine credentials and prevent fraud — every page must show a complete authentication chain.
- Australia requires House Registration to carry embassy legalization (Vienna Consular 1963 §5) before universities and immigration accept it.

Does Australia accept Apostille, or is embassy stamping still required?
Australia is not party to the Hague Apostille Convention — documents must still be legalized by the Australia Embassy in Thailand after MFA endorsement (Vienna 1963).

Where do I collect the original?
Contact District Registration Office. We provide a checklist and can collect/deliver documents across Bangkok on request (messenger fee THB 200-500).
Can I use the university's own English translation?
