- The South African smart identity card – known as a Smart ID Card – replaces the old green bar-coded identity book. Both are identity documents that serve as proof of a person's identity. This proof includes a person's photograph, their full name, their date of birth, their place of birth, and their unique identity number. The identity card securely stores the biometrics (face and fingerprint) information of the individual. The card also has space to securely store additional info, such as evidence of votes cast in local and national elections, as a means to prevent voter fraud. Identity documents are issued to South African citizens or permanent residence permit holders who are 16 years or older. People, including spouses and children, who are working for the South African government or one of its statutory bodies outside of South Africa also qualify to receive a South African identity document. Despite being introduced in 2013, South African citizens born outside of South Africa, as well as permanent residents, cannot apply for the smart ID card, nor access the online services of Home Affairs (as of August 2022). For identity document-purposes, such applicants still receive only the old green ID book. Identity documents are issued by South Africa's National Department of Home Affairs. Despite South Africa having eleven official languages, the identity card is printed in English only. (en)
