How to Change Number on Sassa Application

When you give your contact details to SASSA, it becomes a vital piece of information that you can not afford to lose. It becomes a necessity to keep you updated with the latest procedure needed to update it. It’s not enough to just update your phone number on the logbook or register once; rather, it has to be done at every step of the application process. However, this doesn’t mean you are at the end stage; sometimes, your needs might have taken different directions and require more time than when we started with this article. The reason for such changes can be different: for some people, it might be their bank account change or even a change of address.

Whatever the reason may arise in your life is a fact that cannot be ignored by anyone, especially in South Africa where there are a few hundred people who manage to use fewer than fifteen phones simultaneously!

If you truly want to change your phone number with SASSA, you need to do so via their SASSA portal. Without such an account, you won’t be able to make any changes. And even if you ask SASSA to change your contact details, they will first verify whether or not you are the original applicant who submitted the application form. They will also require that you provide your 13-digit South African identity number and your six-digit application ID before issuing a new mobile number.

In addition, only one submission request is allowed within a 24-hour period in order for them to update your contact details while other requests will be denied due to lack of availability. So make sure that when requesting the updated mobile number, you submit it with haste because it’s not likely that this process will be available again later.
