Question: How long does it take to get a temporary passport in south africa?
If you need to get a temporary passport in South Africa, here are some things you should know:
- The Department of Home Affairs no longer issues temporary passports. You can apply for an emergency travel document/certificate instead, which is valid for one trip only.
- You can apply for an emergency travel document/certificate at any office of the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa, or at the nearest South African embassy or mission abroad.
- You must apply in person and submit the following documents :
- A passport-size picture (white background)
- Your ID or driver’s license
- Proof of your citizenship, such as a photocopy of the missing passport (if available) or your birth certificate
- Your travel ticket (airplane, train, bus, etc)
- Police report (if your passport was stolen, lost, or damaged)
- Application form for an emergency travel document/certificate (you will likely be able to get it at the office or embassy)
- Fee payment (R140 in South Africa or equivalent in foreign currency abroad)
- It takes about 10 days to process your order. You should check with the relevant authorities of the country you intend to visit if they accept emergency travel documents/certificates.
- When you return from your trip, you should apply for a regular tourist passport, which will cost an additional R400.
