Hi there

Answer to question about whether the SA passports with the new coat of arms are in use - Yes, from November 2007. Person/s that apply for new passport/s will receive their passport/s with the new SA Coat of Arms. If you are already a passport holder, with the old government Coat of Arms, you need not worry or panic since it is still valid until it's expiry date.

Please note that during the transitional phase, Temporary passports will still bear the old Coat of Arms until further notice.

Kind regards
