Clearance certificates
Police clearance, record checks, biometric capture and SAQA verification of tertiary qualifications.
Authentication & records
Clearances, record checks, biometric verification, and the academic and professional authentications required before a South African document can be used abroad.
DIRCO will not apostille a degree or matric certificate until SAQA or Umalusi has verified it. Police clearances need fingerprints. University exemption is a separate Universities South Africa process. We sequence the file so that each office sees a document the previous office has already stamped.
