Question NW3230 to the Minister of Home Affairs
18 September 2015 - NW3230
Figlan, Mr AM to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
When will all South Africans, not only pensioners and individuals during their birth months, be able to make applications for the new Smart ID cards?
Reply:
I will make a determination once all offices have sufficient capacity to handle the volumes of applicants for Smart ID cards. Currently office managers were given permission to apply their own discretion and accept other categories of citizens based on the volumes in their offices.
