Easy Apostille & Authentication Document Certificates South Africa

The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, (“the Apostille Convention”) is an international treaty drafted by the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

The Apostille Convention specifies the requirements through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries (South Africa being one of them) can be certified for legal purposes and used in all other signatory countries.

The certification is called an apostille.

The apostille does not give information on the content of the underlying document, rather it certifies the signature, capacity of the signatory and correctness of the seal or stamp on the document.

The apostille is done in Pretoria at the Department of Foreign Affairs by EasyApostille on behalf of applicants.

*Matric certificates / tertiary degrees, diplomas or qualifications require verification from the relevant Government governing body prior to submission for the apostille. EasyApostille will submit documentation to the Department of Higher Education, Department of Basic Education or Umalusi Council for verification prior to the apostille.
