Document Attestation

“Legalisation (or ATTESTATION/APOSTILLE as it is commonly known) is the process of authenticating and stamping South African and foreign documents to the required level so that countries all over the world will accept it as authentic.

Attestation is most commonly used to authenticate academic, marriage or legal documents for employment or higher education purposes abroad.

Our processing time for attestation is largely dependent on which embassy you require stamping from and your documentation.”

When will you need an apostille?

Apostilles are needed when requiring stamped documents for use in countries that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention. Any country not appearing on this list is not a signatory and as such documents cannot be apostilled for that country and will instead have to be authenticated/attested.

What is the Hague Convention?

A treaty developed by Hague Conference on Private International Law (83 Members: 82 States and 1 Regional Economic Integration Organisation) to prevent children under the age of 16 years of being internationally abducted by a parent and removing them from their home country. Please see here a list of these countries: https://www.hcch.net/en/states/hcch-members
