Personally I had a very good experience. Couriered DHL from and to (prepaid) Canada. Police clearance, birth and... marriage certificates, all apostilled in 3 months. No glitches - I was sure to communicate clearly and frequently, checking and confirming all the way. I really felt that I was dealing with people that understand what they are doing. Replies were always prompt and to the point. Thank you.read more

Disappointed to report that I have received shockingly poor service from the get go from the Unabridged Birth... Certificate (UBC) Department. We applied for our UBC’s in September 2021 and contacted i-Boutique in January to expedite the process. They received our full payment and all the required documents between 26 and 28 January. From the get go, there were multiple errors in the process, but we didn’t have a choice to get professional assistance. We got the wrong account with people’s personal confidential information on multiple occasions, all the way from wrong invoices and wrong quotes with sensitive information to highly confidential personal apostelled documents that was not ours. Unfortunately we also did not receive updates and had to ask weekly for updates and explanations, with the same generic responses that seemed highly untrue and assuming one has no idea how the process works, or using technical jargon that was either made up (never heard of before) or has no meaning to someone outside of the consultants’ offices. I know after spending many months on the phone with Home Affairs how challenging it can be, but our consultant took full advantage of the fact that we are abroad, cannot personally follow up and verify her reports and claims, and has to date provided no job or call references to evidence that anything has actually been done. The irony of it all, is that our UBC’s has supposedly been ready for print and collection, respectively, since about 17 February 2022. We are on 19 March, and despite numerous follow ups with our consultant and no feedback from her despite the same generic or nonsensical responses, we have no idea where these documents are in the process. To top this all off, our consultant seems highly disorganized and has very poor basic professional writing ability. It has just been a doubtful process through and through with our consultant. I have tried to resolve this by contacting our consultant telephonically and via email to resolve this, and by emailing multiple other consultants at Immigration Boutique, unfortunately to no avail. The basic response, if I get a response, is that they will follow up and let me know, with no such follow ups given. I hoped to avoid posting this review at all costs, but I feel like I have run out of options to get very basic transparant feedback or service.read more

AVOID !!!! Their unprofessional chewing gum and string type of website should be the first red flag but still, thought... that it may be worth giving them a chance. The result was really disappointing and exceptionally poor "service". After waiting a year for a birth certificate (with an ID number, so it wasn't complicated) we eventually gave up and found someone else to do it. This person managed to deliver what we wanted only a week after applying. Dealing with the immigration boutique people involves constant chasing these people up, and only on a good day, when they have nothing better to do, can you expect an answer. When this happens, it is generally a standard email that is copy/pasted from somewhere else, but so slap dash that the copy/paste part is in a different colour and a different font, which shows the level of professionalism you can expect. Sure the application takes a while but more than a year for a week's worth of work is totally unacceptable. I really suggest that if you are looking for services like the ones which they supposedly offer then to keep looking, or do it yourself. You're likely to save money and immense frustration (yes, standing in a queue at Home Affairs is less frustrating than the "service" which is given by Immigration Boutique)read more

Excellent service.We dealt with a few members of the team on matters relating to retention of SA citizenship. We are a... big family and needed lots of care around our questions, paper-work, etc. Immigration Boutique handled our case extremely professionally. Guidance and information was clear and honest. We were provided with a quote that matched what we had been promised. There is always a feeling of concern when you are paying 100% of the cost upfront. Immigration Boutique delivered everything we asked for, and, well ahead of timing expectations. Brilliant service - I couldn't fault them and will definitely be recommending the company to family and friends without hesitation.read more

Lies lies and more lies. They make messes, refuse to fix them, have catty and bullying attitudes depending on if you... speak to men or women. They'll misquote, or pretend they can do things they can't. And when they get found out, they'll say the job was not their 'core business'. You pay them upfront, and when you discover their mess, they refuse to refund you and blame you or a 3rd party for their mistakes. Go anywhere else but these muppets.read more
