In order for documents to be attested they have to go to one or more of the following places:

• Notary Public and the High Court
• Departments of Basic and Higher Education as well as Umalusi
• HPCSA (Health Professions Council of South Africa)
• DIRCO
• The Relevant Embassy / Consulate

An Apostille is a form of authentication issued for documents that will be used in countries that participate in the Hague Convention.

Authentications refer to countries that are not members of the Apostille Convention and require different forms and certifications. The process is similar to obtaining an apostille; however it requires the additional Embassy Legalization by the Embassy of the country in which the document is to be presented.

Here at Police Clear, we have formed strong bonds with all embassies in South Africa and we specialise in facilitating documents within these embassies. In our years of dealing with these particular embassies, we have grown to understand their requirements and regulations. We pride ourselves in producing services in the fastest time possible. We understand the deadlines of life and the strenuous admin that comes with it. That’s why we offer full services of collecting your documents locally, facilitating and delivering back to your doorstep.
