A South African Apostille Certificate can be attached to almost any type of document just so long as the document has originated from South Africa. Which documents can be issued with an Apostille Certificate?
Personal documents
Personal documents range from academic certificates through to birth, marriage, and death certificates. Another common requirement is for personal documents relating to a marriage outside South Africa or when settling a deceased persons estate with assets outside of South Africa.
Business Documents
Typically, business documents include certificates of incorporation and memorandum and articles of association. These sorts of documents often require an Apostille to prove an South African company exists when carrying our business overseas. Often businesses will need to issue Powers of Attorneys to their representatives overseas. These will require an Apostille certificate to make the document legally valid. It is often possible to combine documents under one Apostille to reduce costs. Please contact us for advice on how best to issue an Apostille Certificate to your particular documents.
