Yes. Depending upon which Officer you encounter, any little thing that is left out opens the door for....well, let's just say they can fix your problem for say, $200? Don't risk it.

L. David Keith has a point. You will have your actual passport with you at that time. Any member of the SAPS has to act as a "Notary Public" (?) in thet he has to endorse a copy of any given as an original. I hav epersonally gone to my nearest SPS station with some original and a copy thereof and asked them to verify the authenticity thereof. The then put a big "Tjap" [only Afrikaans speakers will really understand this term!  ] on it, fill in some details and sign it. Now I have N-E-V-E-R paid a sent for that service, and you should also not have to pay! But as L. David Keith says, it may actually cost you money. Please REFUSE to pay for services that is supposed to be free! You just ruin the system for everyone! Not a single one of my hunting clients have ever paid a single sent for getting their SAPS 520 filled in and issued!In good hunting.

Enquire about any South African hunting directly from andrew@mclarensafaris.com After a few years of participation on forums, I have learned that: One can cure: Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules! My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt! | |||

I have it notarized by my secretary before I leave, as are all of the other pages, just to avoid any delay or other problem. One thing that I have learned with SAPS is to do everything that they require, and then if it's not needed you do not worry about it. Otherwise you are just asking for some sort of trouble or problem. One other thing: make at least one copy of everything and keep with you! | |||

OK, thanks for the advice. I will get it stamped. This is something new since the last time I was there. Elephant Hunter, Double Rifle Shooter Society, NRA Lifetime Member, Ten Safaris, in RSA, Namibia, Zimbabwe | |||
