Hello @Pheladi97,

 

Please be advised that a payslip does not form part of our acceptable proof of residencies as per the FICA Act outline. You can provide any one of the following documents, showing your name and residential address. Unless otherwise stipulated, the documents must show your full residential address and not a post box address:

   

  • A utility bill, such as water, electricity or rates (less than 3 months) We may accept a utility bill that are addressed to a post box number if it shows your name, erf/stand number, township and suburb
  • A bank statement or financial statement from another financial institution, ie. not within the Standard Bank Group (less than 3 months old)
  • A copy of a signed lease agreement (by both parties), (less than 1 year old)
  • A municipal rates and taxes invoice (less than 3 months old)
  • A mortgage statement from another financial institution, ie. not within the Standard Bank Group (less than 6 months old)
  • A telephone account, ie. a landline or cellphone account (less than 3 months old)
  • An official tax return/tax assessment (less than 1 year old)
  • Official correspondence from the South African Revenue Services (""SARS"") (less than 3 months old)
  • A recent life insurance policy issued by an insurance company
  • Correspondence from a body corporate or shareblock association (less than 3 months old)
  • A valid television license document
