Before changing a number
- Confirm you are on the official SASSA SRD domain.
- Have the applicant's own identification details available.
- Do not give an OTP to a third party offering to change the number for you.
If you lost access to the old number
Use SASSA's official help channels if the self-service route cannot be completed because you no longer control the old number.
