What is eChannel?


eChannel is a web based tool that will enable eligible South Africans to apply for their Smart ID simply by visiting the Department of Home Affairs website, completing your details, paying for the document and securing an appointment to finalise the applications process. Unfortunately, no payment can be made by credit or cheque card in the branch.

Once the eChannel application is complete, what is the next step?


The applicant will visit the branch at the selected time of their appointment. The applicant's fingerprints and photographs will be captured to complete the process.

Will this service be available in all branches?


The service is currently only available at the following seven branches:

  • Lynnwood (Grove Shopping Mall)
  • Centurion Lifestyle
  • 4 Merchant Place
  • FNB Greenpoint
  • Burgersfort
  • FNB Cornubia
  • FNB The Glen
A national roll-out to selected branches in each province will be executed within the next year.

Why are applications via eChannel only open to people aged 25 to 40?


The Home Affairs eChannel system can only handle 2000 users concurrently. In order to handle the large number of volumes expected, the system has been restricted to a certain age group. The Bank takes guidance from the Department of Home Affairs on operational matters related to eChannel. Once a decision has been made by the Department of Home Affairs to open up eChannel to a wider group of people we will communicate with our customers.
