BABS Online Booking: Book Smart ID Card & Passport Appointments – Home Affairs
Did you know that The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has launched a new application system called the Branch Appointment Booking System (BABS)? BABS Online Booking system is for you to book for a Smart ID Card or Passport Appointments at Home Affairs easily.
This system works best when booking for Bank Branches appointments, and, this is a great way to avoid the long waiting lines that have been a common complaint for Home Affairs customers.
According to Mr. Siyabulela Qoza – Ministerial Spokesperson for the Minister of Home Affairs, BABS is being phased in to DHA branches nationally, meaning that not all branches are available for BABS at the moment. Below is the list of BABS offices.
Services ONLY available for BABS Online Booking?
At the moment, the system is only available for the smart ID card applications for citizens that are 16 years and older, and passport applications for all citizens with ID numbers already. NOTE: Every South African citizen is now born with an ID number on birth certificates, so you can use that to setup an appointment.
For all other home affairs services listed below, please visit any branch (not Bank Branches) for assistance:
- Marriage certificates
- Birth certificates
- Requests for amendment
- Requests for rectification of personal information
