Gereelde Vrae

Die volgende is antwoorde op die mees algemene vrae wat ons oor die Suid-Afrikaanse dokumentwettiging en apostilleproses kry.

Ja! Ons spesialiseer daarin om mense net soos jy te help om jou dokumente voor te berei om in die buiteland gebruik te word.

Ons kan beslis die wettiging of of die verkryging van 'n apostillesertifikaat namens jou hanteer.

Jy stuur of gee jou dokumente aan ons en ons sal die res hanteer, dikwels in so min as 'n paar dae. Hierdie proses bestaan uit drie stappe:
  1. Dokumentvoorbereiding – ons maak seker jou dokumente sal aan die kriteria van elke stap van die proses voldoen.
  2. Dokumentstawing – ons sal jou dokumente by die toepaslike owerhede in Suid-Afrika laat staaf.
  3. Dokumentwettiging – ons sal jou dokumente by die ambassade of konsulaat van die land van bestemming laat wettig.
Kontak ons vriendelike spesialiste om jou opsies te bespreek en jou vrae te beantwoord. Ons sal bly wees om van jou te hoor!
Ja en nee. ’n Dokument met ’n apostille kan in byna enige ander apostilleland sonder bykomende vereistes gebruik word.

Terwyl 'n dokument wat deur die stawing- en ambassade-wettigingsproses gegaan het, kan gebruik in die land waarvoor dit gewettig is.

Beide die apostille en die dokument stawing en wettiging proses het dieselfde doel; om 'n dokument wat in een land geskep is, te sertifiseer sodat dit amptelik in 'n ander land erken kan word.

Apostille-sertifikate word uitgereik deur lande wat die Haagse Apostille-konvensie onderteken het.

Lande wat nie 'n ondertekenaar van hierdie konvensie is nie, gebruik in plaas daarvan om apostille-sertifikate uit te reik 'n proses genaamd verifikasie en soms ambassade-wettiging.

Ons is beskikbaar om u vrae te beantwoord en u dokumente te bespreek. Kontak ons tolvry by 087 0010 733 of stuur vir ons 'n aanlyn navraag of kry 'n gedetailleerde kwotasie.

Die Haagse Apostille-konvensie, formeel bekend as die "Haagse konvensie wat die vereiste van wettiging vir buitelandse openbare dokumente afskaf", is 'n internasionale ooreenkoms wat bepaal hoe 'n dokument wat in een land uitgereik is, vir wetlike doeleindes in 'n ander gesertifiseer kan word.

Hierdie sertifisering word die apostille-proses genoem. Enige land wat 'n ondertekenaar van die Haagse Apostille-konvensie is, sal dokumente van ander ondertekenende lande wetlik erken solank hierdie dokumente eers "apostilleer" is.

Lande wat nie 'n ondertekenaar van die Haagse Apostille-konvensie is nie, kan dus nie 'n apostille op hul amptelike dokumente kry nie. Die toepaslike dokumentwettigingsproses om die handtekeninge op dokumente vir hierdie lande te sertifiseer, word stawing en en ambassade-attestasie genoem.

Vir meer inligting oor die Haagse Apostille-konvensie en kontak ons gerus. Ons bespreek graag jou dokumente en hoe om dit die beste te laat verwerk vir gebruik in die buiteland. Bel ons by 087 0010 733 of stuur vir ons 'n aanlyn navraag of kry 'n aanlyn kwotasie.

Driver’s licence verification certificate: Why and how to obtain it

At times, you might be requested to submit a South African Driver’s Licence Verification Certificate. More often than not, you might have to produce this certificate when you apply to convert your SA licence into an international driver’s licence. These certificates are issued by the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) after the National Traffic Information System verifies that the applicant does have a valid South African driver’s licence. The certificate serves as proof that the individual has a valid licence and will allow them to convert to a foreign driving licence in the country of current residence.

Who needs to apply for a South African driver’s licence verification certificate?

As mentioned, a verification certificate of your driver’s licence will be required when you wish to convert your South African licence into a foreign driver’s licence. It might also be difficult to rent a car abroad because the South African driver’s licence card only indicates the date of issue for a specific licence and not the date on which you first qualified as a driver. This is why it is advisable to apply for a Verification Certificate of your driver’s licence from the Road Traffic Management Corporation before travelling abroad if you plan to hire a vehicle. Some countries may also not accept South African driver’s licences as valid licence and it might be necessary to apply for an international driver’s licence from the Automobile Association before departing, in which case you will also need to produce a Verification Certificate.

How can I apply for a verification certificate for my SA driving licence?

Unfortunately, the process of obtaining your verification certificate can be complicated, and even though the steps to applying for such certificates might seem straightforward, it is often the waiting times involved in the process which can be a major burden.Applicants will have to lodge a request with the Road Traffic Management Corporation for a Confirmation or Verification Certificate of their driver’s licence. Once the RTMC has received the request, they will investigate and print a copy of the licence required along with a Verification Certificate of the licence. This certificate reflects the date on which the licence was first issued.

What does the driver’s licence confirmation certificate look like?

The document states that a person (name and Identity Number) has obtained and holds a driver’s licence in South Africa, which type, where it was issued and when it was earned. It also shows the expiry date and the restrictions (if any) that the driver has. Finally, the bulk of it explains to a reader what the driving licence code means (e.g. in the above example, the code is EB).

What are the waiting times for obtaining a verification certificate?

Applying for a driver’s licence verification certificate without the help of documentation specialists generally takes anywhere between two and six weeks.Apostil.co.za can assist you in obtaining your Verification Certificate in between 4 and 15 working days of applying (excluding courier time). We can also have it apostilled in as little as 48 hours, or, if you need to have it authenticated and attested, we can assist with that as well.

Document Types - Document LEgalisation 

'n Suid-Afrikaanse Apostille-sertifikaat kan aan byna enige tipe dokument geheg word net solank die dokument uit Suid-Afrika afkomstig is. Watter dokumente kan met 'n Apostille-sertifikaat uitgereik word?

Persoonlike dokumente

Persoonlike dokumente wissel van akademiese sertifikate tot geboorte-, huweliks- en doodsertifikate. Nog 'n algemene vereiste is vir persoonlike dokumente wat verband hou met 'n huwelik buite Suid-Afrika of wanneer 'n bestorwe persoon se boedel met bates buite Suid-Afrika afgehandel word.

Besigheidsdokumente

Tipies sluit besigheidsdokumente sertifikate van inlywing en akte van oprigting en statute in. Hierdie soort dokumente vereis dikwels 'n Apostille om te bewys dat 'n Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappy bestaan wanneer ons ons besigheid oorsee voer. Besighede sal dikwels volmagte aan hul verteenwoordigers oorsee moet uitreik. Dit sal 'n Apostille-sertifikaat vereis om die dokument regsgeldig te maak. Dit is dikwels moontlik om dokumente onder een Apostille te kombineer om koste te verminder. Kontak ons asseblief vir advies oor hoe om 'n Apostille-sertifikaat vir jou spesifieke dokumente die beste uit te reik.
