Digital IDs are coming to South Africa, here’s what comes after

In the near future, digital IDs will allow South Africans to prove their identity remotely and access services online, eliminating the need for in-person visits to government offices.

The South African government revealed in 2025 that it was developing a digital ID system which locals can use to store and share their verified personal information.
