Determining which stamp is required

The onus is on the client to know which stamp is required on their document. In Australia, they should check with the Embassy/Consulate of the country where the document is to be used. An overseas client should check with the local authorities as to which stamp is acceptable to meet local requirements (or the Embassy/Consulate of the receiving country). In some cases, the client may have received advice from the legal adviser in Australia or from the institution requiring the document.
