Is Australia a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Australia since 16 March 1995, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Australia with no embassy step.
The route to Australia
A USPTO Trademark is issued by US Patent and Trademark Office, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Australia, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Australia for skilled migration, partner visas, employment. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
