Letters to the Editor

Dear Vuk’uzenzele  

Thank you for an informative newspaper.

My name is Johannes Paaka, and I am long-distance truck driver from Ermelo in Mpumalanga.

Could you kindly explain the process of getting a new passport?  

Regards

Johannes Paaka

Dear Johannes  

Thank you for your letter.

Kindly note that the Department charges R600 for a new passport. You must have a South African identity document to apply for a passport, or if you are a child, a birth certificate.

The Department of Home Affairs has launched an online booking system for some offices. For a list of the offices, visit www.dha.gov.za. To book an appointment go to https://services.dha.gov.za/#/authenticate/identity.

Alternatively, you can contact Kgomotso Shilubane on 060 976 7521 or email: Kgomotso.Shilubane@dha.gov.za

Warm regards Vuk’uzenzele
