About Attestation

What Is Document Attestation?

Many people are unsure why document attestation is required, what the process is, who attests these documents, and why they're needed for visa applications.

Apostille or Legalisation (commonly known as Document Attestation) is the process of authenticating South African documents for use in Middle Eastern countries such as the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman.

It's most commonly used to authenticate academic, marriage or legal documents for employment or higher education purposes abroad — when foreign companies and entities require certified proof that documents are genuine.

We authenticate the documents most often required for international employment, study and emigration:

  • DegreesUniversity & tertiary qualifications
  • DiplomasCollege & certified course awards
