Read these instructions carefully before starting. You must complete the facial verification yourself using SASSA's official website.

Before you start — important instructions

  1. Use a phone with a working camera. Make sure your mobile data or Wi-Fi is stable and your browser has camera permission.
  2. Choose a well-lit room. Face the light, not a bright window behind you. Avoid dark rooms.
  3. Keep a neutral expression. Do not smile unless the official verification screen tells you otherwise. Look straight at the camera.
  4. Remove hats and sunglasses so your face is clearly visible, where appropriate.
  5. Keep your ID ready. Use the identity document and details requested by SASSA.
  6. Follow the instructions on the official screen. Keep your face in the frame and do not close the browser until it finishes.
  7. If it fails, check your camera, lighting and connection. Try another compatible device if needed. Device compatibility is determined by SASSA's process, not EasyLife.

Phone guidance: Some Android phones may work better for particular camera workflows, but EasyLife cannot guarantee any specific Samsung, iPhone or other model will work. Check SASSA's current requirements.

How the process works

  1. Open the official SASSA portal above.
  2. Sign in using your own SASSA credentials, or follow SASSA's account recovery instructions.
  3. Complete any identity or facial verification requested by SASSA.
  4. Return here and tell EasyLife when you've completed the process.
