Helping your documents cross borders, with confidence.
In today’s global world, your documents often need to travel as far as you do, for business, education, trade, or family reasons, but remember across the borders the legal rules change. What is valid at home may not be accepted abroad, unless it is properly authenticated.
At A de Bruyn Attorneys, we help ensure your important documents are legally recognised wherever they need to go, giving you peace of mind that nothing will stand in the way of your international plans.
Whether you’re applying for an employment abroad, exporting goods and products, sending a child overseas, signing an international contract or studying abroad, we provide the knowledge and notarial expertise that guarantees your documents meet international legal standards.
We assist with:
Applying for Employment Oversees
If you’re applying for employment overseas, foreign authorities often require officially verified South African documents, such as qualifications, identity documents, police clearance certificates, or affidavits. Our notaries assist by preparing, certifying, and attesting these documents in line with international standards. Where required, we also facilitate apostille or consular legalisation to ensure your documents are accepted in the destination country. Whether you’re a professional heading abroad or an employer preparing documents for international staff, we help streamline the legal process, so you can focus on the opportunity ahead.
Wine & Fresh Produce Export Documents
Trusted by the industry, we specialise in authenticating export certificates, commercial invoices, and documentation for wine and fresh produce destined for global markets.
When children travel abroad, whether for a school sports tour, family holiday, or to visit a parent living overseas, South African law requires a Parental Consent Affidavit signed before a notary or commissioner of oaths. Many foreign embassies and immigration authorities also insist on notarial attestation, sometimes with apostille or legalisation attached, depending on the destination country.
Ensure hassle-free international travel, we prepare and authenticate travel consent letters for minors travelling without one or both parents.
