It works exactly the same as British citizenship, i.e. you can only pass on your South African citizenship to your children if you obtained your South African citizenship by birth or naturalisation. They will then be South African by descent. However, someone who is South African by decent cannot p...
. Thank you for stepping up publicly, badmaash. I've said it a number of times & I'll keep saying it: I am not demanding perfect behavior from anyone. I can't behave that way myself. I do demand that folks try, though. That's a standard I can hold myself to, so I'm comfortable in requiring of o...

I foolishly opted for check and send at PO and I can tell you it is not worth it. all they did is took the three forms( wife daughter and me) and put it into 3 different plastic covers and charged 21.00 for that. the reciept says there is no gurantee that the passport ofice will accept the photos o...

I don't know what they did with it. All I know is I gave it to the UK passport office in person in a plastic sleeve in pristine condition (unfolded) and it came back to me, missing it's plastic folder, folded, dog-eared and somewhat ruffled. I guess it was too much to expect them to have sent it ba...

Did they give a reason why this information was necessary? Is it her first passport application? I applied in May at the passport office.
