Testamurs
A testamur is the legal document you receive after graduation.
Also known as a 'Degree certificate' or 'parchment', Testamurs are the legal certification that your degree has been conferred. A testamur contains your name, the degree you completed, and the date it was conferred. Testamurs are signed by the Chancellor as well as the Vice-Chancellor and President of the 最新糖心Vlog.
DFAT Document Verification
If you require verification of your testamur for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), this must be ordered from Ask Adelaide prior to testamur collection or postage.
(Note: if you are ordering DFAT verification in advance of your testamur being released at a ceremony or In Absentia round, please notify the Graduations Office with your order number and receipt number to enable us to note the request and details on your application).

Pay for testamur postage (former students)
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide keeps testamurs in storage for seven (7) years after conferral. If you did not pay for postage at the time of conferral, you can still elect to have your testamur posted to you. If you graduated more than 7 years ago and have not collected your testamur, it will have been destroyed. If this is the case and you would like to order a testamur, you will need to purchase a replacement testamur.
Testamur postage costs $15 for domestic postage within 最新糖心Vlog and $60 for international postage. If posting internationally, we cannot post to a PO Box address.
To pay for testamur postage, please use the link below.
Refunds will not be issued for change of mind.

Collect your testamur from archival storage
If your testamur was produced during an In Absentia round and you indicated in your application that you would collect it from Ask Adelaide (or if you did not pay for testamur postage), it will remain at Ask Adelaide awaiting collection for 12 months. Once 12 months have passed, your testamur will be moved from Ask Adelaide to archival storage.
If it has been more than 12 months since your testamur was released, you will need to contact the Graduations Office to request that your testamur is retrieved from archival storage and taken to Ask Adelaide.
To do so, please email graduations@adelaide.edu.au, ensuring that you include your name, student ID number (if known) and the name of the program that you studied in your email. It will take a minimum of three working days for the testamur to be collected from archival storage. Photographic identification must be provided to enable testamur release.
If you are unable to collect your testamur personally, you may nominate a proxy to collect it on your behalf. To do so, after you have sent your request to the Graduations Office you will need to complete the Third Party Proxy Authorisation Form and provide this to your proxy to take to Ask Adelaide with a copy of their own photo ID.
If you would rather have your testamur posted to you, please follow the instructions under 'Pay for Testamur Postage (Former Student).
