Cape Town – Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has approved a temporary extension of operating times at front offices to address the increased demand for smart ID cards and passport services.
The extension, which adds two hours to the operating times, will be implemented in 198 modernised Live Capture offices capable of processing these documents.
The new operating hours will be from 08:00 to 17:30, starting from Tuesday.
“The department usually receives a higher volume of applications during school holidays. To meet the demand during this period, we have extended operating hours,” Motsoaledi said in a statement on Monday.
Motsoaledi emphasised that this is a temporary extension.
