FAQ | notarisation for South Africa

Is Swedish notarisation the same as a commissioner of oaths?
No. Here Notarius Publicus in Sweden attests a document that can then be apostilled for use in South Africa. A commissioner of oaths stamps documents issued there.
Is apostille included in notarisation?
No. Notarisation is a separate step. For South Africa we add apostille when the recipient requires it.
