FAQ’s

  • 1. What is an Apostille, and when do I need one?

    An Apostille is a certification that authenticates the origin of a document for international use in all Hague Convention countries. It's required when you need to present legal documents overseas, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or company documents.

  • 2. How can I get a document Apostilled?

    Simply submit your documents to Certificate Assistance, and our team will handle the official apostille process with the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) or other authorised bodies.

  • 3. How long is an Apostille valid?

    An Apostille does not expire; however, some organisations or foreign authorities may require a recent Apostille, usually within a specified period from the date of issue.

  • 4. Is there a difference between Apostille and notarisation?

    Yes, a notary public can notarise documents, but only the relevant government authority can issue an Apostille. Notarisation is often a step before the apostille process, especially for commercial documents.

  • 5. Can any document be Apostilled?

    Most official documents can be Apostilled, but they must first be original, government-issued documents or notarised copies.
