When will all South Africans, not only pensioners and individuals during
their birth months, be able to make applications for the new Smart ID
cards?
NW3831E

I will make a determination once all offices have sufficient capacity to
handle the volumes of applicants for Smart ID cards. Currently office
managers were given permission to apply their own discretion and accept
other categories of citizens based on the volumes in their offices.
