I was at SARS Customs & Excise in Cape Town CBD and the lady I dealt with said these docs are all good:
Proof of bank account. Or a bank statement with your account details on. I printed mine and had it stamped at Capitec.
Proof of contact details. An affadavit form from the police station stating that my number is prepaid number. Never had to do affadavit before. They have the forms there. It was very quick and painless.
Current DA 185 form. The one printed last week from the SARS site was an old form. She said to check the date if you get a form online because they don't always remove old forms. I asked her to give me one since I was there so I can't confirm that the new one is online. She said she thinks it is.
Tax compliance certificate. I got mine on e-filing.
Letter of consent. Stating that you're applying for an import code.
Not good:
Proof of address. I used the CRA01 form from the SARS website with a relative's electricity bill since I don't have any utilities or contracts in my name. She said it doesn't work for customs and excise and I would need to get an affadavit from the person whose name the statement is in.
You can e-mail your application to this address.

I'll probably do it in person because it's sort of on my walk to work
