Document Services for Immigration & Travel
The right paperwork.
A clearer next step.
Need a South African birth certificate, police clearance or help with an apostille? Emigrate2USA connects you with independent document specialists, so you can get practical help preparing for your move.
Practical document support
Get the paperwork moving.
Whether you are still in South Africa or already overseas, a document service provider can help you obtain records and arrange the preparation needed for their intended use.
Civil certificates
Help obtaining South African birth, marriage and death certificates, including unabridged certificates where required.
Police clearances
Assistance obtaining a South African Police Service (SAPS) police clearance certificate, including enquiries from people abroad.
Apostilles & authentication
Support with apostilles, legalisation and notarisation when the receiving authority requires them.
Other official records
Ask about divorce decrees, letters of no impediment, document copies and the preparation of educational records.
The provider confirms availability and requirements for your request. Emigrate2USA facilitates introductions; we do not issue, retrieve or certify documents.
Before you order
Start with what is actually required.
Check the document type, issuing country and receiving authority’s instructions first. A birth certificate, certified copy, translation and apostille serve different purposes.
For U.S. immigration, use the official South Africa civil-document guidance alongside your application instructions.

Document services: common questions
Can you help if I am already outside South Africa?
Apostil accepts enquiries from people abroad for South African document services. Ask the team which originals, authorisations or other steps your request needs and how delivery will work.
Does every document need an apostille?
Do not assume so. The requirement depends on the document, its intended use and the receiving authority. Confirm what is required before ordering certification or legalisation.
Which documents do I need for a U.S. visa or green card?
Your application route and personal circumstances determine the documents needed. Follow your application instructions and the official civil-document guidance linked above; your immigration attorney can clarify case-specific requirements.
How much will it cost, and how long will it take?
Request a current quote from Apostil. Fees and timing depend on the document, issuing authority, preparation and delivery required. Emigrate2USA does not set these charges or guarantee processing times.
