Notary Public Services Cape Town
Notarisation Premium Service Cape Town
Notarisation is a critical step in preparing documents for international use, ensuring that they are legally valid, properly executed, and recognised by foreign authorities. A Notary Public is a specially qualified legal professional who is authorised to certify documents, authenticate signatures, administer oaths, and verify the identity of individuals signing important legal paperwork. This process plays a vital role in preventing fraud and ensuring that your documents comply with strict international legal standards.
At Hague Apostille by Global Apostille – Cape Town, we provide professional and reliable notary public services designed to simplify what can often be a complex process. Whether you are preparing personal, academic, or commercial documents for use abroad, our team ensures that every document is correctly notarised in accordance with South African law and international requirements. We guide you through each step, from document preparation to final certification, and where necessary, seamlessly assist with the next stages of authentication such as apostille or embassy legalisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our notary public services, including requirements, turnaround times, and what to expect during the notarisation process.
1.Do all documents need notarisation?
No, not all documents require notarisation. Generally, notarisation is needed for documents that must be verified for use abroad, such as affidavits, powers of attorney, or certified copies. We assess your documents and advise whether notarisation is necessary.
2. How long does notarisation take?
Notarisation is usually completed on the same day, depending on the type and number of documents. More complex documents, such as powers of attorney or corporate documentation, may take slightly longer to prepare and certify.
3. Can I walk in without an appointment?
We recommend booking an appointment to ensure availability and avoid waiting times. However, we may accommodate walk-ins depending on our schedule.
4. Do you notarise corporate documents?
Yes, we notarise a wide range of corporate and commercial documents, including company resolutions, contracts, and registration documents required for international business transactions.
5. Is notarisation required for apostille?
In many cases, yes. Documents such as affidavits, powers of attorney, and certified copies must first be notarised before they can be apostilled by the High Court. Government-issued documents, however, may go directly to DIRCO for apostille.
6. Can you courier notarised documents?
Yes, we offer secure courier services both locally and internationally. Once your documents have been notarised (and apostilled if required), we can arrange delivery to your preferred address.
7. What documents must I bring?
You should bring the original documents to be notarised, along with a valid form of identification (ID or passport). If applicable, bring any supporting documents or instructions provided by the requesting authority.
