Are you extremely worried that you have lost SA citizenship? It’s now easy and possible for you to check your South African citizenship through a Determination process.
How To Verify Your South African Citizenship Status
The Citizenship Determination procedure can be used to confirm your South African citizenship. The check is normally done in 30-40 business days, but expect prolonged delays if your records need to be sent to the South African Department of Home Affairs’ headquarters.
In the end, a Determination of Citizenship is a procedure for determining whether or not your South African citizenship has been revoked. If you have lost your citizenship due to any circumstance, you can apply for it back, but it is a lengthy procedure.
Documents Required for SA Citizenship Determination
- Unabridged birth certificate
- South African Identity Document OR Passport
- Letter of Retention of South African Citizenship (or your Foreign Citizenship Certificate)
Please will you let me know how I find out if I am a SA citizen? I have created an account using myhomeaffairsonline..dha.gov.za but this only asks me to apply then check my staturs of the application.
it does not let me know if I am still a citizen.
As SA has changed to rules with ex-SA people re-entering SA, I am trying to find out the status of citizenship.
Thank you.
