Adult Permanent Passport

As of the 18th of April 2009, the Department of Home Affairs have introduced the new format biometric passport. This passport displays now necessary security features. South African Passports are issued to South African Citizens. According to new regulation, any South African Citizen has to leave and enter the country using a South African Passport. Foreign passports may be used to travel abroad.

Adult passports are valid for 10 years and children for 5. The Department of Home Affairs take 8 - 10 weeks to process a permanent passport. If the client is unable to wait this period for a passport, we are able to issue a temporary passport which is valid 1 year. Please note that not all countries will accept this temporary passport. The Department of Home Affairs maintain that any applicant applying for a temporary passport needs to apply for a permanent one at the same time.

Paperwork is done telephonically, and an appointment scheduled to meet us at the Department of Home Affairs in Umgeni Road for fingerprinting and signatures. In the case of a childs application, the two photographs are verified by a Passport Official in the Passport Section where both parents and the child need to make themselves available for verification.

BRITISH PASSPORTS

We offer renewals as well as first time applications for children and adults.

Children born after the 01st of January 1983 qualify directly if either their mother or the father were born in the UK. If this is not the case, but the child's Grand Parents were born in the UK and the child's mother or father lived and / or worked in the UK for 3 consecutive years, the parents need to apply for a UK Registration for the child before his / her 1st birthday. Once the child is registered as a British Citizen, we then apply for the child's British passport.

As of the 12th of May 2006, all British passports are now issued as British Biometric Passports and have resulted in an increase in the price of the passports. All passports take 4 - 5 weeks to process. All original documentation needs to be submitted. If a passport is required urgently, there is a 4 week express service whereby the application and supporting original documentation is couriered to Pretoria, where upon it is couriered back to our offices 4 weeks later. This express service costs an additional R 295.00
