Home affairs offices temporarily extends working hours
Operating times at front offices from 08:00 to 17:30 from tomorrow (June 27) to deal with the high demand.
The Department of Home Affairs temporarily extends operating times by two hours to meet the growing demands for services at offices.
Home Affairs Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi has approved a temporary extension of operating times at front offices from 08:00 to 17:30 from tomorrow (June 27) to deal with the high demand for Smart ID cards and passport services at home affairs offices.
This extension applies to the 198 modernised live capture offices, which can process Smart ID cards and passports.
“The department usually receives a higher volume of applications during school holidays,” said Motsoaledi.
He emphasised that this is a temporary extension.
