Our Instant Person Document Search is the fastest way to find documents linked to an individual at any South African Deeds Office.

What You'll Receive

Each search returns a list of all documents registered to the specified person at your selected Deeds Office, including:

  • Marriage contracts (ANCs) – Antenuptial contracts registered against the person's name
  • Document reference numbers – The unique registration details needed to order copies
  • Registration dates – When each document was registered at the Deeds Office

If the document has been digitised, you can order a certified copy and receive it within 1 working day. No more waiting weeks for manual searches.
