Do you need to get married overseas and have your documents legally recognised abroad? If so, you will typically require both a Letter of Non-Impediment (LNI) and a DIRCO Apostille certificate.
At Global Apostille, we provide a complete end-to-end service, assisting you with both the application of your Letter of Non-Impediment through Home Affairs and the DIRCO Apostille authentication — ensuring your document is fully compliant and accepted internationally.
Whether you are planning to marry in countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, or elsewhere, our team ensures that your documents are processed quickly, correctly, and without delays.
We can assist you to obtain and apostille your Letter of Non-Impediment in as little as 5 to 8 working days.
Why You Need a DIRCO Apostille for Your Letter of Non Impediment
Once your Letter of Non-Impediment is issued, it must be authenticated by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO).
A DIRCO Apostille certifies that the document is genuine and legally valid for use in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
Without the apostille, your Letter of Non-Impediment may be rejected by foreign authorities.
