SA Passport Renewal in UK
So….after a long time, finally received a bunch of forms from SA High Commission in Whitehall for my wife’s SA passport renewal. There’s a lot more forms in there than I imagined, so wondered if anyone could actually clarify which form/s actually need completing and submitting. I have the following:
DHA-73 Application for a SA Passport or Travel Document
DHA-9 Re-Issue/ First Application for an ID Card
DHA-529 Determination of Citizenship Status
There’s also a form regarding official requirements for fingerprints
I’m assuming DHA-73 is the one that needs to be filled-in for the passport renewal? Do fingerprints also need to be taken at e.g. the local police station for passport renewal application?
Does the DHA-529 for also need to be completed?
Also, our 9 y/o daughter was born in SA but has British passport. Her Sa passport is also expired. We were going to let this lapse, or surrender it, but I have been advised that even if she is of British nationality, it is SA law that she must also hold a SA passport? Is this true?
