Why is the word order is die uitreikingsowerheid duidelik and not die uitreikingsowerheid is duidelik?

This happens because Afrikaans usually puts the finite verb in the second position in a main clause.

The sentence begins with the fronted phrase:

• Soos blyk uit die apostille

After that introductory element, the verb comes next:

• is

Then comes the subject:

• die uitreikingsowerheid

So the structure is:

• Soos blyk uit die apostille, is die uitreikingsowerheid duidelik.

If you removed the fronted phrase, you would get the more basic order:

• Die uitreikingsowerheid is duidelik.

So this is a normal example of Afrikaans word order after an opening phrase.
