Notary Services in Cape Town

A Notary can act as a Commissioner of Oaths and can authenticate and certify Affidavits which are signed in their presence. Documents can also be certified as true copies by them; e.g. university degrees and educational certificates.

The authentication process involves confirming the Identity of the person signing the document. The Notary is required to seal the document with their official embossed Seal or rubber stamp with “Notary” and the Notary’s name on it.

Authenticating Documents for Use Abroad

If the document being authenticated by the Notary is required to be used outside of South Africa, the authentication process is more complex. Once the Notary has authenticated the client’s signature; the Notary’s signature is then verified by the Registrar of the High Court, the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) or other government offices.

The procedure has been simplified by The Hague Convention of 5 October 1961. If the country in which the document is to be used is part of the Hague Convention, only the High Court needs to authenticate the Notary’s signature by attaching an Apostille to the document.

Authenticate Documents for International Use

There are 2 ways to authenticate documents for use in another country (other than South Africa). Before starting, establish whether both countries are signatories to the Hague Convention (South Africa is). This will dictate which process you need to follow. Regardless of the route, a notary public is usually the first port of call.

  1. Apostille (the quick way):

    • Requirement: Both the originating country (e.g., South Africa - SA) and the destination country must be signatories to the Hague Convention on the Legalisation of Foreign Public Documents (commonly known as the Apostille Convention).
    • Process: A designated authority (often a government department or court) in the originating country issues an Apostille certificate, which is attached to the original document. This single certificate authenticates the document for use in any other Hague Convention member country.
    • Benefit: Simpler and faster than the long route.
    • Limitation: Only applicable if both countries are signatories to the Hague Convention.

  2. Authentication (the long expensive way):

    • Requirement: Used when the destination country is NOT a signatory to the Hague Convention.
    • Process: A multi-step process involving several authorities:
      1. Notary Public:
        • Action: The notary public authenticates the original document and/or a copy of the document by witnessing the signature, certifying the copy, or otherwise verifying its authenticity.
        • Note: Can be expensive, but it's usually the quickest step.
      2. High Court:
        • Action: The High Court confirms the notary public's authority and capacity to authenticate documents.
        • Note: Can take a few days. The High Court itself usually does not charge a fee, but the notary may charge for facilitating this step.
      3. Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO in South Africa):
        • Action: DIRCO adds its own certificate, confirming the authority of the High Court registrar.
        • Note: Requires an appointment to be scheduled and takes time. There may or may not be a fee.
      4. Embassy/Consulate of the Destination Country:
        • Action: The embassy/consulate of the destination country legalises the document, ultimately confirming its validity for use in that country.
        • Note: This is often the most expensive step, as embassies typically charge per page.
    • Benefit: Allows documents to be used in countries that are not part of the Hague Convention.

Documents where a Notary has an interest

If the notary has an interest in a notarial document, this will render it invalid. In a 1961 case involving Van den Heever v Khan and another, a notary was a partner of the creditor, an attorney, and had attested a notarial bond which the South African court ruled was invalid.

So, interestingly enough, notaries cannot stamp their own signatures, and need to find an independent notary public to assist them.
