Settling parental power after a divorce under the Australian system (Attorney-General's Department) — how does it work?

This question is specifically about “Settling parental power after a divorce under the Australian system (Attorney-General's Department)”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. The terms that frame this page are Settling · parental · power · after. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. Australia's intercountry adoption programme is administered by the Australian Government Attorney-General's Department together with the state and territory central authorities. Non-English documents lodged with Australian government bodies or courts require a translation by a NAATI-certified translator carrying the translator's stamp and number; a translation certified only by Thailand's Department of Consular Affairs does not meet that requirement. A Thai document filed with a foreign authority or court is translated in full — stamps, signatures and any text on the reverse included — then the translation is certified by the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards by the destination country's embassy or consulate where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the 1961 Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued on Thai documents. Confirm the accepted form of certification with the receiving body before work starts. ILC provides document work and coordination only: translation, assembling the set, arranging signature certification, filing for legalisation and international despatch. ILC is not an adoption agency, not a Hague Central Authority, and guarantees no decision by any authority or court. Assessing applicants, matching a child and deciding parental power rest solely with the competent authorities and the courts. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are required and the steps the receiving authority or court sets, so every file is quoted before work starts.
