This applies to public schools in the province.
Department spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene said the online option is only available at selected participating schools from Thursday, 3 June to 6 August.
She said the list of participating schools is available on the departmental website: www.edu.limpopo.gov.za.
Meanwhile, walk-in registration at schools opened from 17 May to 30 July for children who will be going to school for the first time or moving to a new school next year.
“Forms for walk-in registration are collected and submitted back to schools. Parents and legal guardians of qualifying learners are therefore encouraged to immediately collect registration forms from the school nearest to their homes, where other siblings are attending or within a feeder zone,” she said.
Parents are requested to return the completed forms as soon as possible as admissions will be processed on a first come first served basis, assuming that all other criteria in the admissions guidelines are met.

Chuene said school management teams have been directed to ensure that the process of collection and returning of forms is managed in line with the department’s standard operating procedures for the management of Covid-19 in schools.
She said there will be strict adherence to screening, sanitising and social distancing protocols throughout the process.
The following documents are required for registration:
· Proof of residence
· Birth certificate or acceptable proof of birth date
· Immunization card
· Transfer card, and/or
· Last report card
If one is not a South African citizen, the following documents are required:
· Study/work permit
· Temporary or permanent residence permit from the South African Department of Home Affairs and/or

Any formal complaint from parents whose children have not been admitted can be lodged through the nearest circuit offices. The Department will monitor the learner admissions process very closely to ensure that the rights of learners are always protected.
