Here’s how we make it easy for you:
The official DHA fee for civic documents like unabridged birth, marriage, and death certificates is R75 per certificate, which covers the issuance by the Department of Home Affairs. Apostille and authentication fees through DIRCO are separate, and other services such as passports, ID applications, or letters of no impediment carry their own DHA fees.
Our service fee is for the personalised assistance, knowledge, and efficiency we provide. It covers hand-delivering your application, expediting it through the system, frequent follow-ups, and secure collection. Delivery of your documents via courier is an additional charge depending on your location. We keep our service fees transparent and competitive, so you’ll know upfront what you’re paying for our facilitation. Feel free to contact us for a quote. In many cases the convenience and time saved are well worth it, especially if a visa, immigration, or travel deadline is on the line.
