What do I need to bring to get FORM V notarised?

Sydney Notary Public Parramatta

If you have lost or damaged your Indian Passport, or if it has been stolen, you will need to complete and submit FORM V to VFS to have a new passport issued to you.

As a leading provider of notary public services, many clients approach us for assistance because FORM V must be notarised - it cannot be signed by a justice of the peace.

Accordingly, to have FORM V notarised, you must attend our office and prove your identity in order to have your signature witnessed. This means, if your passport has been lost, stolen or damaged beyond recognition, you must have some other form of photograph identification that is normally acceptable in Australia (for example, an Australian drivers licence or photocard issued by the RTA/RMS). Other forms of non-Australian photograph identification will not be accepted.

Unfortunately, we have had to turn away many people without being able to assist because they did not have the required identification documents to prove their identity. If you do not have your passport or any the form of Australian photograph identification, you should contact VFS for clarification on your options.

Summary of Requirements


  1. Appointment. Make an appointment to have your documents notarised. You should also request a quote for the notary public service. Please call 02 9687 8885 between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.
