South Africans are being urged to collect their Smart ID cards, with reporting indicating that collection options have expanded beyond traditional service points. One outlet says more than 100 bank branches are now participating in the Smart ID collection process, providing additional locations for people to pick up their cards. The coverage also frames the expansion as an effort to make collection more accessible across provinces, and it directs residents to find the appropriate collection point in their area. While details such as specific branch locations vary by province, the overall message is consistent: eligible cardholders who have been issued Smart IDs should collect them using the available collection channels. The reporting focuses on the increased number of participating banks and the availability of collection sites nationwide, encouraging citizens to check where they can collect their Smart ID card locally.
