COURTESY: Home Affairs DepartmentMobile offices are scheduled to return to deliver IDs in
the remote areas where they took applications from. Local offices, working with
stakeholders that include councillors, will communicate the dates, times and
venues of those visits.
Mobile offices will be used to support the identified local
offices.
“We invite people who have applied for their IDs,
particularly young people who are first time applicants, to come to our offices
to collect their documents. This initiative gives people more options to
collect their enabling documents,” said Njabulo Nzuza, Deputy Home Affairs
Minister.
“We encourage clients who have applied for identification
documents and have received their SMS notifications, to seize this opportunity
by visiting their Home Affairs office to collect these critical documents,” he
added.
Clients can book appointments to collect their Smart ID
Cards and Green barcoded ID books before visiting offices by using the Branch
Appointment Booking System (BABS), which is available at www.dha.gov.za.
Alternatively, clients can simply visit the offices without
making a booking.
