All the bank branches where you can get your Smart ID and passport

Source: Broadband, 03/10/2018


Home Affairs launched its online Smart ID and passport applications
portal almost two and a half years ago.
It was initially only open to South Africans between 30 and 35, but
Home Affairs gradually increased the range of people allowed to use
the website.
By 25 August 2016, the eHomeAffairs website was made available to
everyone with South African citizenship.
When the service launched there were 11 participating bank branches �`
from Absa, FNB, Nedbank, and Standard Bank �` which were part of the
Home Affairs system and supported ID and passport applications.
Since then there have been several changes, and at the time of
publication Home Affairs listed 13 bank branches as offering its services.
Capitec was also asked whether it will offer Home Affairs services in
its branches, but it did not provide comment.
If you select a bank branch when applying for a Smart ID or passport,
you are asked to book an appointment to have your fingerprints
captured and photograph taken.
Once your application is paid and your biometric data is captured,
Home Affairs will send you an SMS when your smart ID or passport is
ready for collection.
Should you not be a client of one of the supported banks, or there
isn’t a branch near you that processes Smart IDs, you will have to
visit a Home Affairs office.
Currently, there are over 180 Home Affairs offices equipped with Live
Capture systems.
