REPORTS
Before you queue, check the queue.
Home Affairs doesn't publish a status page — so this one is built from reports by people standing in line right now. Report what you see, and check before you go.
No reports yet in the last few hours.
Report a branch
Standing in line, or just walked out? Takes five seconds.
Banks only handle Smart ID and passport applications — not the full range of Home Affairs services. Not sure which of your bank's branches offer this? Home Affairs keeps a live list at myhomeaffairsonline.dha.gov.za.
Branch status
Based on reports from the last 4 hours. A branch needs at least 2 reports before we show a status.
Recent activity
Every report, in-app or shared from social media, with a link back to the source where there is one.

If it saved you a wasted trip, you can buy the maintainer a coffee. It covers hosting and the odd late night fixing broken data.
