South Africans who apply for or renew their passports will from today receive a new passport with more security features.
The new passport is tamper-proof and difficult to reproduce illegally.
The country is ahead of technology in producing the new document.
The new passport had fine line security background designs depicting the Big Five printed on the pages and principal and secondary photos as well as an interlock stitching, which would be difficult for anyone to tamper with.
One of the major differences between the old and new passport is the pure polycarbonate data page that replaces the current security paper data page with its overlay film.
