If you’re seeking to authenticate your South African documents for use abroad, you’re in the right place.
Understanding High Court Apostille:
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the signature of a public official on a document. It is used to simplify the process of proving the authenticity of documents in countries that are party to the Hague Convention of 1961.
In South Africa, the High Court is the Competent Authority for issuing apostilles. This means that if you need to have a document apostilled for use in another country, you will need to have it notarized by a Notary Public and then taken to the High Court for the apostille to be issued.
What documents need to be apostilled?
The following documents are commonly apostilled:
- Birth certificates
- Identity Documents/Passports
- Marriage certificates
- Divorce decrees
- Death certificates
- Power of attorney documents
- Adoption documents
- Educational certificates
- Employment contracts
- Business documents
