If you are renting or do not receive municipal bills you can also use a bank statement; a utility, clothing, furniture, cellphone or Telkom account, a medical aid statement, a signed lease agreement or a councillor’s letters for individuals who stay in informal settlements or RDP houses. An affidavit confirming your address is also acceptable.
These documents can not be older than three months.
