Sorting out South African documents for use in another country can be tricky and time-consuming in Cape Town. If you want a South African document accepted abroad, you will likely need an apostille certificate. This certificate is attached to your document and shows it is genuine, making it valid in countries that follow the Hague Convention.

Our Apostille Process
While it is possible to attempt this process yourself, you would need to navigate strict formatting requirements and queue at both the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) and the High Court Apostille Service Office. Even a minor error can result in rejection or delay, meaning you would have to start the process again. As a top-rated apostille agency in Cape Town, Hague Apostille by Global Apostille simplifies this into three steps:
- Document review: Send us the documents via email to info@apostillelegalisation.co.za. We will then verify whether they require notarisation, certified true copies or original sourcing.
- The ‘legwork’: If applicable, we coordinate with the Notary Public and submit the documents to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) or the High Court Registry on your behalf.
- Delivery: We collect the apostilled documents and courier them to your office, whether locally or internationally.
Processing time:
- Notary Legalisation & High Court Apostille: 1 to 3 working days
- Dirco Apostille: 5 working days
