Legalise and Attest your South African Documents at the Ethiopia embassy
Document attestation at the Ethiopia Embassy is a vital step for anyone planning to move, work, or do business in Ethiopia. Whether you are getting married, applying for residency or family visas, exploring business opportunities, or seeking medical treatment, ensuring your documents are properly attested is essential for a smooth and stress-free experience in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia Embassy attestation guarantees that your documents are verified and accepted by Ethiopian authorities. This vital process adds an extra layer of validation, ensuring your documents are legally recognized and ready for official use in Ethiopia.
Although the Ethiopiaq Embassy attestation process is efficient – the attestation itself is completed within 3 days—the overall timeline can be significantly longer. This is because your documents must first go through a series of prerequisites:
- DIRCO Authentication: Documents require a certificate of authentication from DIRCO, which currently takes 6–8 weeks.
- SAQA Authentication for Degrees: If you need degree verification, SAQA authentication must be completed before submitting documents to DIRCO. This process adds another 4–6 weeks.
Additionally, time-sensitive documents, such as Police Clearance Certificates or Letters of No Impediment (single status letters), require careful planning to avoid delays.
Preparing your documents well in advance is crucial to ensure timely attestation and avoid complications. With proper planning and expert guidance, you can navigate the Ethiopia Embassy attestation process smoothly and focus on your exciting journey to Ethiopia.

DIRCO Legalisation
+
Ethiopia is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention and will not accept documents that have been apostilled at DIRCO. Instead, DIRCO will issue a Certificate of Authentication for documents intended for Ethiopia that certifies that the signature on the document is from a recognised official at a South African government department.
Documents that have been notarised and then apostilled at a High Court also have to be sent to DIRCO to have this Certificate of Authentication added before they can be attested at the Vietnam embassy

Avoid Common Mistakes and Delays
