I called to check on my son's birth certificate registration that i applied in almost a year ago, and the staff are taking messages only today after waiting on the line for more than 10mins. I wanted to renew my other daughter's passport i am told it takes 6 to 12months when i want to go home in December. Service very poor for such a public office

Frustrated Wheres my passport
Been trying to get a relatives permit so I can be with my wife in Cape Town. Well we may as well get a divorce as by the time I can get any action I won't recognize my wife. Customer Service very poor except from poor Aysha who gets all the frustrated people on the phone and she can do little. I realize they have a big workload but these permits we require can have a huge effect on our lives . I don't think this is recognized.

south africa just as bad
i have applied through a company called passport 2000 for documents for my son in the u.k. i have been waiting for white south african's since April just to email what is happening. I have to phone every night to south africa just to be told, waiting for courier. I thought I would go through the embassey, but after reading your experiences, I give up and want to know what is happening to South Africa??????

CALL ANSWERED - NOT ALL BAD
I rang the SAHC yesterday and got through first time and was advised my wifes passport is ready and is being posted today, great news.

I e-mailed the Consular last week about visas in Zim passports but have heard nothing, will be ringing today to follow up and hope to have the same good result of yesterday.

Passport applications
Very dissapointing. These people don't return any phonecalls or e-mails. It's like running into a brick wall. It is really sad that we have no other choice than to work with them. They've got absolutely no idea how important these transactions are to us and they couldn't give a damn.

What do I do?
I have been calling this number, my passport is about a year overdue. I sent the s.a high commision all of my original documents and last I heard from them was about 6 months ago. I have had no calls taken and no emails replied.. what's up with that... I have just started a new job and I need my passport to get a drivers licence and this is putting my life on hold.. not very groovy at all.
