Services Offered by a Notary Public
A Notary Public works with legalisation processes, including attestations, apostilles, authentications, and document notarisation. Once these documents have been legalised by a Notary, they can be used outside of South Africa in foreign countries.
The legalisation process pertains to official public documents being affixed, sealed, and signed with either a Certificate of Authentication (for use in countries that are not part of The Hague Convention) or an Apostille Certificate (for use in countries that are parties of The Hague Convention, to which South Africa is a party).
A Notary Public can certify the following documents:
- Birth Certificates
- Death Certificates
- Marriage Certificates
- Single Status Certificates
- Divorce Certificates
- Police Clearance Certificates
- Copies of ID’s and Passports
- Powers of Attorney
- Educational Certificates
