How do I replace a lost SASSA card?
Report the card as lost or stolen immediately so it can be blocked, then apply for a replacement card at a Postbank card replacement point or as directed by your nearest SASSA office. Take your South African ID and a sworn affidavit explaining the loss — commissioned free of charge at any SAPS police station — and your grant will continue to be paid onto the replacement card.
Will I still get my grant if my SASSA card is lost or stolen?
Yes. Losing the card does not cancel your grant — the grant stays approved in SASSA's system and the card is simply the payment method. Block the card as soon as possible so nobody can withdraw your money, report any theft to the SAPS for a CAS number, and collect your replacement card so the next payment cycle reaches you.
How do I make a lost sassa card affidavit affidavit legally valid in South Africa?
Fill in the lost sassa card affidavit affidavit, print it, and sign it in front of a Commissioner of Oaths — do not sign beforehand. Bring your ID document. Commissioning is free at any SAPS police station, and Commissioners of Oaths are also available at banks, post offices, and attorneys' offices.
