What Is an Affidavit?
An affidavit is a written statement made under oath, in which the deponent (the person making the statement) swears that the contents are true to the best of their knowledge.
In South Africa, affidavits are used for a wide range of legal and administrative purposes, including proving facts in court, submitting visa or immigration documents, confirming marital status, or supporting financial declarations.
Affidavits must be sworn or affirmed in the presence of an authorised official, such as a Commissioner of Oaths, a Notary Public, or at a police station. Once notarised, the affidavit becomes legally binding and admissible in both legal and administrative proceedings.
Why Affidavit Apostille Legalisation Is Important
If your affidavit will be used outside South Africa, notarisation alone is often not sufficient. An Apostille is required for international legal recognition.
The Apostille, issued by DIRCO, certifies the authenticity of the public official’s signature and seal on your affidavit, making it valid in any country that is a signatory of the Hague Apostille Convention. Without this certification, your affidavit may be rejected by foreign authorities.
