The South African smart identity card – known as a Smart ID Card – replaces the old green bar-coded identity book.[1] Both are identity documents that serve as proof of a person's identity. This proof includes a person's photograph, their full name, their date of birth, their place of birth, and their unique identity number. South African identity documents also include evidence of votes cast in local and national elections, as a means to prevent voter fraud.

Identity documents are issued to South African citizens or permanent residence permit holders who are 15 years and six months or older. People, including spouses and children, who are working for the South African government or one of its statutory bodies outside of South Africa also qualify to receive a South African identity document.[1]

Identity documents are issued by South Africa's National Department of Home Affairs.[2]

As of January 2019, South Africans citizens born outside of South Africa, as well as permanent residents, still cannot apply for the new ID card, nor access the online services of Home Affairs.

How South Africans can apply for a Smart ID Card

Only South African citizens born in South Africa may apply for the new Smart ID card. The card is not available to South Africans citizens born outside of South Africa, or South African permanent residents, whom need to apply instead for the old green ID book.

South African citizens born in South Africa can apply for a smart ID card in two ways: they can either apply at their local home affairs,[3] or they can apply online[4] at the Home Affairs e-Channel website.

The website provides a step-by-step guide[5] on how to apply.

People in South Africa who need help with applying for their smart ID card can call the Department of Home Affairs contact centre[6] on 0800 601 190.
