What do they mean with the word " apostile" required for documents?
Does it require presenting documents for verification, at a SA Police station, a lawyer or a government department?

An apostille is a regulatory confirmation that the documents presented are in fact legitimate; for example, if you were born in South Africa, then your South African birth-certificate has an apostille attached to it.聽 Generally required by other Governments.

This will take you to the South African government website that deals with it.

Hope this helps.
