There are many reasons people would want to apply for birth certificates online. They might live in another country and require it for permanent residency or citizenship. Or they might simply not have the time and patience to stand in a queue at the Department of Home Affairs for a whole day with the risk of being sent away unsuccessful in applying anyway. 

It’s no secret that going to the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa is like pulling teeth. Everyone knows it, and no one can do anything about it. So, how does one go about obtaining legal documents from DHA without going crazy? It’s simple. You use an agent like Doc Assist. We are a South African legal document procurement agent with many years experience in the industry. Our rates are competitive and we take the overall satisfaction rate of our customers very seriously!

We can apply for a birth certificate on your behalf. While it won’t cost R75 (like when you apply directly to DHA) but it will save you time, effort and frustration. Spending a little extra to preserve your sanity is a small price to pay.
