Independence
AAA Docs lodges and collects on your instruction. We are not Home Affairs, SAPS, or DIRCO. Official issuing times remain theirs.

Process

  1. 1We check whether the document type can be apostilled as-is or needs a prior notary or department stamp.
  2. 2We complete any pre-authentication step, then lodge with DIRCO.
  3. 3We collect and courier the apostilled original.

What we need from you

  • Original document and, where relevant, a certified copy
  • Issuing body (university, professional council, notary)
  • Destination country
