Matric certificate vs National Senior Certificate.
“Matric certificate” is the familiar search term for South Africa’s school-exit qualification documentation. Umalusi currently certifies qualifications including the National Senior Certificate and the Senior Certificate.
This page covers both. The translation follows the exact title on the certificate supplied rather than substituting one name for another.

DIRCO’s legalisation guidance says NSC, Matric or equivalent certificates follow a verification route before international legalisation. Umalusi verifies the relevant later NSC and Matric records, while the Department of Basic Education handles the specified older route.
Translation, qualification verification and Apostille or authentication are separate processes. A foreign university or authority may require one, some or all of them, so confirm what it needs before submitting.
