You upload NSFAS supporting documents through your myNSFAS<\/a> account, either while applying or later if your status shows that documents are missing. NSFAS’s system lists the exact documents your application type needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step by step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Log in to myNSFAS<\/a> with your ID number and password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Open your application, or the section showing missing documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Choose the document type the system asks for.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Select the file from your phone or computer and upload it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Check that the status updates, then keep checking for any further requests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Documents NSFAS may ask for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Your ID or birth certificate. A smart ID card needs both sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Your parents’, guardian’s or spouse’s ID.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Proof of income, where applicable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The Disability Annexure A form, if you have a disability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A Vulnerable Child Declaration completed by a social worker, if applicable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The Declaration: Non-SASSA, if you have no family member details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The signed consent form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      NSFAS does not accept affidavits or a driver’s licence as proof of identity, and documents no longer need to be certified.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      Tips that prevent rejections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Scan or photograph each document flat, in good light, so every word is readable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Make sure names and ID numbers match Home Affairs records exactly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Upload each document under the right type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Respond quickly: NSFAS has given applicants 30 days from a notification to submit outstanding documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
