Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. My fiance is on H2A visa in America and I want to go there in the end of November. In order for us to get married with the plan of staying there. I need to get a passport for my daughter as soon as possible who will be 14 in November. Can I go to Home Affairs for them to issue her passport? As I also understand that on Level 2 Home Affairs should be open to this already?

2. My application for a ‘Proof of permanent residency’ certificate was completed via VFS Global approximately 8 months ago. I received an SMS to say that home affairs Pretoria had received my application. I cannot find any options to check on my status. please advise.

Error / Problem:
1. I went to check if my passport is ready for collection and they confirmed indeed it is, now been struggling to register /book online for collection. When I put my email address and my number it says, doesn’t match, home affairs is failing me and their system.

2. I want to find out how long is my wife’s passport going to be for collection, we applied on the same day and Tuesday, I received my notification for collection and my wife received nothing, the reason why I am asking is, we apply every two years for our 2 years UK Visas together to visit our daughter in England and our current passports expire in six months’ time that’s why we applied for new passports and we want to visit them in December our visas expire in November.
