Witnessing your application

Section 9 of the application form must be signed by a member of one of the professions listed therein. The witness must certify that:

• he/she is satisfied as to the applicant’s identity
• the applicant signed the form in his/her presence, and
• the photographs provided are a true likeness of the applicant.

The witness must then sign his/her own name on the back of two of the four photographs to be submitted with the applicationand also write the eight-digit Form Number (printed in Section 9) on the back of the photographs.

Please ensure that the witness has an official stamp and affixes that stamp to the application. Applications that do not have the witness’s stamp affixed will have to be returned to the applicant.
