    When your sassa status check result shows the message “identity verification requested.” It means that SASSA is requesting you to complete your biometric identity verification first to get your R370.

    This change is part of SASSA’s new process to ensure the payment goes to the right people. This might be Sassa’s new biometric verification and you need to provide your selfie for facial recognition. SASSA will verify it with the documents used to apply for the grant.

    Thanks for the clarification! It’s good to know that the “identity verification requested” message is part of SASSA’s efforts to make sure payments go to the right people. The new biometric process, especially the facial recognition step, seems like a smart move to prevent fraud. It’s important for anyone seeing this message to act quickly and complete the verification, so they don’t experience any delays in receiving their R370. Appreciate the heads-up

    If your SASSA status shows “identity verification requested,” you need to complete biometric verification. Provide a selfie for facial recognition to match your application documents before receiving your R370. Similarly, My NSFAS Status allows students to track their NSFAS application progress

    If you need to cancel your SRD application, the process is straightforward. Visit the official SRD website, log in to your account using your ID and credentials, and find the “Cancel Application” option. Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation. Ensure you understand the implications, as canceling may affect your eligibility for future assistance. Contact the support team if you face issues during the process.

    If you see a message saying “Identity verification requested” when checking your SASSA status, this means that SASSA is asking you to complete a biometric identity verification process before receiving your R370 grant.

    If your SASSA status shows “identity verification requested,” you need to complete biometric verification by providing a selfie for facial recognition to match your application documents before receiving your R370.  واتساب ذهبي Similarly, WhatsApp can help make this process faster and easier — you can receive important updates, notifications, and even support messages directly on WhatsApp. Just like My NSFAS Status allows students to track their application progress, WhatsApp keeps you informed and connected with real-time updates and communication.
