Cape Town is 1,400km from DIRCO in Pretoria — meaning local apostille options are limited. We handle Cape Town apostille work via overnight courier so you don't have to fly your documents up. Same prices, same speed, no extra hassle.
Cape Town presents a logistics challenge for apostille work that JHB and Pretoria clients don't face. There is no DIRCO apostille office in the Western Cape. The High Court (Cape Town division) does issue apostilles for notarised documents — but for DIRCO-route documents (SAPS PCC, DHA certificates, educational qualifications), every document has to travel to Pretoria.
Our model: overnight Courier Guy from Cape Town to our Honeydew Document Depo (R250), then we submit and collect at DIRCO/High Court Pretoria, then overnight courier back to you in Cape Town (R250). Total round-trip courier R500. Total turnaround: 2 weeks for DIRCO Apostille (1 week DIRCO + courier overhead), 5–6 working days for High Court Apostille.
Cape Town's emigration profile is concentrated in a few clear segments:
Step 1: Send your original documents via overnight Courier Guy to our Honeydew Document Depo (R250). We provide a sealed envelope label and a checklist — pack on a Monday, arrives Tuesday morning.
Step 2: We acknowledge receipt by WhatsApp the same day, prep the file, and submit to DIRCO/High Court the next business day.
Step 3: DIRCO returns the apostilled documents in ~1 week (or 3 days for High Court). We courier them back to your Cape Town address that same day via Courier Guy overnight (R250).
Total round-trip: 2 weeks for DIRCO Apostille, 5–6 working days for High Court — including the courier transit time.

Because there isn't one — DIRCO's apostille office is in Pretoria. The Cape Town High Court does issue apostilles for notarised documents (3 working days), but for any DIRCO-route document (DHA cert, SAPS PCC, educational doc), the document must physically travel to Pretoria.
Typically 1 day each way via Courier Guy overnight. So a DIRCO Apostille that takes 1 week in Pretoria takes ~9 working days end-to-end for a Cape Town client.
We use The Courier Guy overnight insured service. In 6+ years we've not lost a document. Use the sealed envelope and tracked label we provide. For documents you simply cannot risk (irreplaceable originals), email us first — we may suggest a different process.
No. R1,650 DIRCO, R1,650 High Court — same as everywhere. The only Cape Town extra is round-trip courier (~R500), the same R250 each way that JHB clients pay outside Honeydew.
