  • Prepare deeds of transfer, powers of attorney and bond documents

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): conveyancer admission certificate if applying as a conveyancer, conveyancing course certificate plus list of banks and portals you have worked on.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • State how many files you run at once and whether you do transfers, bonds or cancellations; it tells firms where you fit.
  • Mention the Deeds Office you usually lodge at, such as Pretoria or Cape Town, since practice differs slightly.
