How do I apply for a service?

Simply select your service on our homepage. We’ll guide you through each step.

Do I have to come to your office?

For most services, no — everything is done online. The exception is the ink-fingerprint police clearance (SAPS 365), where your fingerprints have to be taken in person: you can come to us in Pretoria, we can come to you, or we can send you the documents to complete at a police station near you. If you do want to visit us, please WhatsApp us first, as we are often out meeting clients.

How long does each service take?

Processing varies by service. Check the estimated timeframe on each service page for more details.

How do I pay for my order?

We accept secure online payments via Payfast (credit/debit cards, EFT, etc.). Courier fees may apply if you choose delivery.

Is my personal information safe?

Yes. We use secure servers and encryption to protect all data shared with us.

Can I track my application’s progress?

We send the necessary updates, sometimes proof of submission, and so on. Based on the service you buy, the workflow and updates differ.

Can I get a refund?

Please read section 6 of our Terms and Conditions.
