Unfortunately not. I went on Tuesday & they don't have it going yet. They waiting for confirmation on something or whatever. So I just got the temp and passport & hoping I can do something with that because I don't have much time to go again whenever they are doing IDs again.
Hey all.
Just wondering if it's possible to open a bank account in South Africa with a temporary ID or a passport?

It'll be a fairly large amount I'll be earning & therefore a decent amount I'll owe the taxman. Not sure avoiding this is the smartest move, would hate to put myself in a position that could jeopardize me in the future.

Got quite the situation here and it's a doozy. I'm going to try to break it down the best I can so it's not super wordy and long.
- I just got a new job, need a new ID so I can get my Tax number from SARS. (Note: I don't have a driver's license.)
- I'm not registered for eFiling or...
