Applying and Carrying
In order to apply for a South African passport, one must fill out application form BI-73, and bring the appropriate sized photographs to ensure correct identity.
South African passports are issued at any home affairs office in South Africa.
According to the South African Citizenship Act (Act 88 of 1995) as amended by the South African Citizenship Amendment Act (Act 17 of 2004), South Africans may hold dual citizenship, but may not use their citizenship of another country to gain advantage or avoid responsibility while in South Africa.
It is also illegal for an adult who holds South African citizenship to enter or depart South Africa using a non-South African passport. Dual nationals travelling on a non-South African passport may be turned away from border checkpoints and could be fined or imprisoned for up to 12 months.
