Citizen’s Advice Bureau

If you need to verify the authenticity of a document, this is the place to go. When I moved interstate to Perth I wanted to apply to university, and to prove that I hadn’t whipped up my high school results on Photoshop, I needed a Justice of the Peace to sign and date my results. I was actually sent here by the Post Office, and although they can certify some documents it’s best to get an actual JP to do it, just to make sure you’re not left crying over letters from the government declining your working visa (it’s happened!)
The place is pretty busy any day of the week. I’ve only been here once on a Friday afternoon, and I had to wait half an hour. Lucky for me they had a nice collection of ancient Reader’s Digest! Score! You simply go up to the front desk, grab a number, and wait your turn. Try and be as organised as possible and have your documents ready facing the right side up for a signature — these guys are busy, busy, busy.
Did I mention the service is free?
