VAULT COPIES - BIRTH / MARRIAGE

Original documents issued by the South African Department of Home Affairs (DHA) are called vault documents.

These documents, which are typed-up records, are kept in storage warehouses, called the DHA archives or “vaults”. At times, especially when applying for official processes like citizenship abroad, you might be required to submit vault copies of your legal documents.

We will email you the Application form once completed email back to us. I will then submit the application, capture it on the system, wait a few days before we can start to expedite. The vault is the first birth registration and a copy will be made of the original and then send from DHA Head Office with their courier to the DHA office applied at where I will then collect.
