During the appointment, bring your ID along, as your son's fingerprints will be scanned, and his pictures will be taken. Home Affairs will notify you via SMS when your Smart ID or passport is ready. Finally, you can collect the document at the specified Standard Bank branch. You can also read fake id reviews at FakeYourDrank.

Look, applying for an ID for your kid might seem like a maze but don't worry, we got you! The best advice would be to start with the official government channels, right? You don't want to get into a sticky wicket, after all.

Now if you're having some issues understanding the process, a bit of online help ain't bad. Check out https://fakeidvendors.com, they have some general info that can guide you. But remember, it's all about staying legit, so stick to the official channels for the actual ID. Choose carefully and then you'll be able to use the document you acquire. Cheers mate!

Hi, @Gysman.

 

We appreciate you reaching out to us.

 

ID and passport applications are handled through the Home Affairs website. We assist with the payment process, after which you can visit any of our participating branches for biometrics and collection.

 

Once you've initiated the application on dha.gov.za, it's essential to subscribe before making payments to DHA. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Log in to internet banking.
  2. Navigate to Transact.
  3. Under Pay, select My Bills.
  4. Accept the Terms and Conditions.
  5. Search for DHA and subscribe before processing a payment.
  6. Proceed with the payment.

Bank branches are listed on the website, and you can check for available dates 2–4 weeks in advance.

 

Please let us know if you require further assistance.

 

Kind regards,

Standard Bank Team
