Home Affairs extends operating hours at selected offices
In the iLembe district, the Tongaat and Stanger offices will observe the extended hours.
Minister of Home Affairs, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, has approved the extension of operating hours at selected offices for two hours to 6pm until July 15.
In the iLembe district, the Tongaat and Stanger Home Affairs offices are included on the list.
This will, however, only be applicable to applications and collections of Smart ID cards and passports, and the extension of hours excludes weekends.
Motsoaledi said the extension was introduced to meet the anticipated increase in demand for ID and passport services during the winter school holidays.
“It is part of our many strategies to eliminate long queues at our offices. We will ensure every client inside the selected offices at the time of closing receives services,” Motsoaledi said.
People are also encouraged to use the branch appointment booking system to schedule their visits to Home Affairs offices at times that are suitable to them.
