Whether you are converting your South African driver’s licence, relocating abroad, or hiring a vehicle in a foreign country, Global Apostille can assist you with both the application and DIRCO Apostille process. We can obtain your Driving Licence Confirmation Letter and have it apostilled for official use abroad.
A Driving Licence Confirmation Letter, also known as a Driver’s Licence Verification Certificate, confirms the authenticity of your South African driver’s licence and is issued by the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). Once issued, the document can be apostilled for use in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
Our Driving Licence Confirmation Letter and Apostille Service is available in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town and forms part of our full range of document authentication and legalisation services for both individuals and businesses.
