SASSA Documents and Affidavits – Download Them Here

 

When applying for SASSA grants (whether you apply in-person at a SASSA office or online), you will be required to complete specific documentation. One of the documents you will have to complete is an affidavit.

An affidavit is a written declaration signed under oath – the signer has sworn that the statement is truthful and has been informed that they may face legal consequences if the entire affidavit or any portion of it is proved to be false.

You can download the SASSA affidavits here or you can collect them at your nearest SASSA branch when applying – after you have completed the affidavit, you will need to have it stamped by a commissioner of oaths or at a SAPS police station.
