Where can I take my fingerprints?

If you happen to live abroad,  you can go to your nearest SA embassy to take your fingerprints. You will need to bring along a copy of your ID/passport. This service is free, you may need to call to make an appointment. In some countries you can also take your fingerprints at the local police station or at a local notary office.

For locals the police might refuse to handover the fingerprints, they are within their rights. However, if you plead with them and explain the urgency they might hand them over. You can also try a different police station. If that fails, get in touch with us we will advise.
