SASSA is urging social grant beneficiaries to avoid queues by using its e-Life Certification system, which can be done online from anywhere at any time.
In a public notice, the agency says the e-Life Certification is a self-service digital platform that allows beneficiaries to complete their life certification from the comfort of their homes.
Beneficiaries who have the necessary means are encouraged to use the self-service portal instead of visiting SASSA offices.
To use the system, beneficiaries must go to the official SASSA Services Portal and follow the process to complete their life certification.
Steps to follow:
Visit the SASSA Services Portal: https://services.sassa.gov.za/portal/r/sassa/sassa/home
Log in or register on the platform
Select the e-Life Certification option
Complete the required verification steps
For more information on how to access the system, SASSA directs users to the same online portal.
The notice positions the system as a way to reduce queues and make services more accessible, especially for those who can use digital platforms.
It is not stated what beneficiaries without internet access or digital devices should do. This has not been confirmed.
We will update this story as more information becomes available.
