Legalise and Attest your South African Documents at the Taiwan embassy
Document attestation at the Taiwan Embassy in Pretoria is a vital step for anyone planning to move, work, or do business in Taiwan, otherwise known as the Republic of China. 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 Taiwan.
Taiwan Embassy attestation guarantees that your documents are verified and accepted by Taiwanese authorities. This vital process adds an extra layer of validation, ensuring your documents are legally recognized and ready for official use in Taiwan.
Although the Taiwan Embassy attestation process is efficient—appointments typically take about 10 days, and 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 Taiwan Embassy attestation process smoothly and focus on your exciting journey to Taiwan.

DIRCO Legalisation
+
Taiwan 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 Taiwan 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

Simplify Document Attestation at the Taiwan Embassy with Expert Guidance
Document attestation at the Taiwan Embassy can be a detailed and time-intensive process. Most documents must first undergo legalization at the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), where they are issued a Certificate of Authentication. Only after this step can they be sent to the Taiwan Embassy for the official attestation stamp.
Documents That Require Taiwan Embassy Attestation
The attestation process is mandatory for a variety of official documents, including:
- Unabridged Birth Certificates
- Unabridged Marriage Certificates
- Police Clearance Certificates
- Letters of No Impediment to Marriage
- SAQA-verified academic degrees
- Umalusi-verified matric certificates
- HPCSA-verified medical certificates
Certain documents may also need notarization and an apostille at a High Court before they are eligible for DIRCO authentication.
Avoid Common Mistakes and Delays
One common error is assuming that a High Court apostille or a DIRCO apostille is sufficient. Unfortunately, this misstep can result in delays of several months. It’s essential to follow the correct process from the beginning to ensure your documents are properly attested.
Plan Ahead for a Smooth Attestation Process
With the DIRCO authentication process currently taking 6–8 weeks, advance planning is critical. Additional time may be required for documents needing High Court notarization or verification from bodies like SAQA or Umalusi.
