Apostilles in South Africa

An Apostille Legalises official public documents executed within South Africa for use outside the Republic of South Africa by means of an Apostille Certificate or a Certificate of Authentication. Some governments currently require an Apostille Authentication in order to process teaching visas.

At present, the South African government specifically states that:

"The following documents need not be legalised by the Court as stipulated above, provided the documents were signed by the relevant authority as listed below: ...

...D) Educational certificates signed and stamped by the authorised employee at the Department of Education;

E) Police Clearance Certificates signed and stamped by the Criminal Record Centre of the South African Police Service (a Police Clearance certificate is only valid for three months);"
