How to Apply for Old Age Grant?
Go to the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) office nearest to where you live and bring the following:
- Your 13-digit bar-coded identity document (ID). If you don’t have an ID:
- you must complete an affidavit on a standard SASSA format in the presence of a Commissioner of Oaths who is not a SASSA official
- you must bring a sworn statement signed by a reputable person (like a councillor, traditional leader, social worker, minister of religion or school principal) who can verify your name and age
- the SASSA official will take your fingerprints. You will be referred to the Department of Home Affairs to apply for the ID while your application is processed. If you don’t get an ID, your grant will be suspended.
- Proof of your marital status (if applicable).
- Proof of residence.
- Proof of your income and/or dividends (if any).

- Please note: If you are too old or sick to travel to the office to apply, a family member or friend can apply on your behalf. The person should take a letter from you and/or a doctor’s note saying why you cannot visit the office.
Complete the application form in the presence of the SASSA officer (note that only you as the applicant or a SASSA official may complete the application form). The officer will interview you and tell you if you qualify for the grant.
You will be given a receipt. Keep it as proof that you applied.
