It has come to the attention of the Department of Basic Education that a large number of learners registered to write the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations in 2016 were unable to produce valid identification documents and/or passports. |
| 2. |
As from January 2018, it will be compulsory for a learner registering to write the NSC examinations to produce valid identification documents. Failure to produce these documents will result in learners not being registered for the 2018 NSC examinations. |

South African citizens must produce a South African Identity Document (ID) or Smart ID Card. |

Principals are requested to inform all current Grade 11 learners so that those who still do not possess the required official documents, can obtain same in the next few months. |
