New Biometric Requirement for Grant Applications
From 1 September 2025, all new grant applications will require biometric data to be submitted through SASSA’s electronic Know Your Client (eKYC) system.
Applications submitted without this biometric enrolment will be placed under review, and applicants will be notified to provide the necessary data to complete the process.
Enhancing Security and Accountability
According to SASSA, the new system is designed to improve risk controls and ensure that grant recipients are living individuals at the time of their application. This initiative aims to make the social grant system more secure, accountable, and transparent.
