Documentary evidence

The documentary evidence required to accompany your application includes the following:

• Certified copy of Birth Certificate / extract of Birth Certificate or passport
• Certified copies of documentary evidence of all names and name changes (if applicable)

Documents can be certified by a government official e.g. a school principal, public notary, Justice of the Peace or Commissioner of Oaths.

• Write on the copy, 'This is a true copy of the original document sighted by me'
• Sign and date the copy
• Print his or her name, address, phone number, profession and position
• Stamp with official stamp if the organisation has one.
