South Africa Apostille & Attestation

South Africa requirements

What your documents need for South Africa

For South Africa, the final stamp is the MEA apostille. Before that, the document is attested at state level: HRD for degrees, SDM or Home Department for personal documents and the Chamber of Commerce for commercial documents.

Qualification evaluation by SAQA for work visas is a separate process from apostille. Many applicants need both: the apostille for legal use and the evaluation for recognition. We help you plan both.

  1. Notary (if needed)
  2. State: HRD / SDM
  3. MEA apostille
