The Department of Home Affairs has put stricter controls in place for both South Africans and foreigners travelling to and from South Africa with children under the age of 18. These amended immigration regulations have come into effect in light of the growing issue of child trafficking. 

From 1 Jun 2015 parents (from visa exempted countries) will have to provide an Unabridged Birth Certificate (reflecting the particulars of the parents of the child) for each child travelling with them.

In the case of one parent travelling with a child, they will need to produce the following:

• An Unabridged Birth Certificate showing both parent’s details and an Affidavit from the absent parent that they acknowledge that the child will be traveling as well as an ID or passport copy.
• In the case of one parent being deceased a Death Certificate will be required.

Children traveling without their biological parents and being accompanied by adults need to produce the following:

• A copy of the Unabridged Birth Certificate of the child.
• An Affidavit from the parents or legal guardian of the child confirming that he or she has permission to travel with the child.
• Copies of the identity documents or passports of the parents or legal guardian of the child.
• The contact details of the parents or legal guardian of the child.
