The person or company you intend on working for may require you to provide them with certain information or documents about yourself; for example a copy of your passport, your tertiary qualifications, South African Police Service clearance certificate, birth certificate etc. In order for you to be able to use your South African documents in another country, these documents will need to be verified in terms of the process known as legalisation.
Legalisation refers to the process whereby a document originating from one country is verified for purposes of it being lawfully used in another country. Depending on the destination country, your South African documents will either be legalised through the process of authentication or apostillisation.
