With Oaths.co.za™ you can have true copies of your documents certified online by a duly appointed Commissioner of Oaths, from your phone, wherever you are: in South Africa or anywhere in the world.
What you can certify
South African Smart ID Cards, driver's licences, passports and proof of address documents, the documents most often requested for university and TVET college applications, bank and cellphone FICA and RICA, and employment onboarding.

Is it legal?
Yes. Every certification is performed by a duly appointed Commissioner of Oaths in accordance with South African law, and is supported by an independently verifiable audit trail. As with any certified copy, acceptance remains subject to the receiving institution's own policies.
