Our Apostille Process
Submit Your Documents for Assessmen
Send us a copy of your document via email or contact our Cape Town team. We will assess whether your document requires a DIRCO apostille or a High Court apostille, and confirm if notarisation is needed before submission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Once your apostille certificate is issued, we collect your documents and arrange secure delivery locally or internationally, ready for official use abroad.
1. What is the difference between DIRCO and High Court apostille?
A DIRCO apostille is used for original government-issued documents such as birth, marriage, and police clearance certificates. A High Court apostille is used for notarised documents, including affidavits, powers of attorney, and certified copies.
2. How long does it take?
Processing times vary depending on the document type and authority. High Court apostilles are typically faster, while DIRCO apostilles may take longer due to volume. We also offer urgent services to reduce turnaround time.
3. Do I need original documents?
Yes, for DIRCO apostilles, original documents are usually required. For High Court apostilles, notarised copies can often be used. We will advise based on your specific document.
4. Can you assist remotely?
Yes, we assist both local and international clients. You can courier your documents to our Cape Town office, and we will handle the entire apostille process and return delivery.
5. Are apostilles accepted worldwide?
Apostilles are accepted in countries that are members of the Hague Convention. For countries that are not members, embassy legalisation may be required instead.
6. What if my document is rejected?
If a document is rejected, it is usually due to incorrect certification or missing requirements. We review all documents before submission to minimise this risk and assist with corrections if needed.
7. Do you offer urgent services?
Yes, we offer expedited apostille services depending on the document type and authority. Contact us to confirm the fastest available turnaround time for your request.
