💨 Abstract

Home Affairs acknowledges technical constraints preventing 2025 SA smart ID card applications for permanent residents and naturalised citizens. The department is addressing IT issues, as previous ministers failed to properly capture these groups on the system, causing delays and inconvenience. The department aims to improve access through IT systems upgrades, but the process for these applicants must be done manually. The issue remains a top priority for the department.
