Ahead of the 2024 national elections, a second voter registration weekend will take place on February 3 and 4, and will see Home Affairs extend its operating hours for Identity Document (IDs) and Temporary Identification Certificate (TIC) applications and collections.

Home Affairs offices will be open until 18:00 on Friday and between 08:00 and 17:00 on Saturday and Sunday.

TICs, which are issued on the same day, will cost R70 and will allow voters to register for the upcoming elections.

“We want to assist those who need an ID to participate in the voter registration an opportunity to come and collect their documents. We particularly encourage young people to come to our offices from Friday afternoon and over the weekend to come and apply for or collect their documents,” said Home Affairs Deputy Minister Njabulo Nzuza. 

Collection appointments can be booked using the Branch Appointment Booking System on the Home Affairs website. Walk-ins are also accepted.
