Attest register · South Africa

Submit a business for listing

Know a business that should be on Attest? Tell us about it and we check it against the official register for its profession. Owners, staff and customers are all welcome to suggest one. Listing is free.

Before you start

Nothing is published on your word. We find the business, check it at its register ourselves, and list it with what the register shows and the date we checked.
Have the register number to hand where the law requires one: an FSP number for financial advisers and insurance brokers, an NCRDC number for debt counsellors, a SAQCC Gas number for gas installers, a professional body membership number for tax practitioners, and a Fidelity Fund certificate number for estate agents and attorneys. Plumbers, electricians, beetle inspectors, solar installers and builders can be submitted without one.
Registration numbers are never shown on a listing unless the owner claims it and agrees.
Fields marked * are required.

The business

Profession

Department of Employment and Labour registration number (optional)The Department publishes no register, so we cannot check this number ourselves.

FSP number Authorised advisers and brokers must show it on their website, emails and documents.

NCRDC number Every registered debt counsellor has one: NCRDC followed by digits. It is usually on their website and letters.

SAQCC Gas registration number On the installer's SAQCC Gas card and on any Certificate of Conformity they issue.

Professional body Every tax practitioner must belong to a body SARS recognises.Membership number Practitioners usually show it on their website or letterhead.

SAPCA WDO number (optional)SAPCA's list of wood borer inspectors is voluntary, so many inspectors have no number.

Electrical contractor registration number (optional)Solar installation is not itself a registered occupation; the electrical contractor registration is what the law asks for, and the Department publishes no register, so we cannot check it ourselves.
