🚨 Big news: for the first time ever, over 1.4 million naturalised citizens and lawful permanent residents are now eligible to obtain Smart IDs and use eHomeAffairs! We’re starting with applicants from visa exempt countries and then expanding to all others. This a major milestone on the digital transformation journey of #TeamHomeAffairs, which continues to deliver and accelerate. It is a victory for social inclusion, as these citizens and lawful residents were previously excluded from the Smart ID and restricted to the vulnerable green ID book. And it is a victory for national security, as it makes our country less reliant on the insecure green ID book. Broadening inclusion, enhancing security, and boldly moving our country into the future: this is the power of digital transformation as Home Affairs works to deliver dignity for all 🇿🇦
