This article explains the importance of notarisation, outlines the process, and details the comprehensive services provided by Global Apostille.
What is Notarisation?
Notarisation is a legal process conducted by a legally empowered notary to officially witness signatures public to verify the authenticity of a document and the identity of its signer. By notarising a document, the notary assures that it is genuine, signed by the correct individual, and free of alterations. For South Africans needing to present documents abroad, notarisation is often the first essential step in establishing the document’s legitimacy for use in foreign countries.
Why is Notarisation Important?
Notarisation plays a crucial role in preventing fraud by certifying that the document has not been tampered with. It gives foreign authorities confidence that the information in the document is trustworthy and accurate.

Document Legalisation
For documents intended for use in countries that are signatories of The Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is necessary after notarisation. The apostille certifies that a document is valid for use internationally. In South Africa, the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) generally handles apostille applications. However, Global Apostille offers an express service, streamlining the process through DIRCO or the High Court, to expedite apostille issuance.

In addition to notarisation, Global Apostille provides certified document translation services, which can be essential for documents submitted to non-English-speaking countries. We offer high-quality translations for all official documents from English to languages including French, Portuguese, Spanish, and German, ensuring quality and compliance with international authorities.
