I used Doc Assist to obtain an unabridged marriage certificate and Apostille and supplied all information correctly, including a copy of my passport showing my date of birth as 18 June.
Unfortunately, the final certificate I received contained an incorrect date of birth, showing 13 June instead. This error originated during the document production process and was not due to any incorrect information provided by me.
What was most disappointing was the response when the issue was raised. Rather than taking ownership of helping to resolve the problem, Doc Assist advised that I would need to pay again for the correction, a new Apostille, and additional courier fees, despite the fact that the original information submitted was correct.
While I appreciate that mistakes can occur at the Department of Home Affairs, I engaged a professional service specifically to manage this process and ensure the accuracy of the final documents. I do not believe it is reasonable for a customer to bear the full cost of correcting an error on an official document when the correct information was supplied from the outset.
The process was completed quickly, but the end result was an unusable document and a refusal to rectify the issue without further charges. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend the service.
