Naturalizations and Immigrations

Naturalizations and immigration records are an extremely valuable part of any application for Ancestry Passports or VISA’s. Naturalizations were published in the Government Gazette after their arrival in South Africa

By searching this database you can generally find

Number of Certificate
Full Name
Nationality prior to the grant of a Certificate of Naturalization
Birth Place
Occupation
Date of Issue of Certificate

However this information does change over time as the Government recorded different information.

This number you will need before you got to Home Affairs for a copy of the document. Most naturalization records post 1910 are held at the Department of Home Affairs in Pretoria. The reference generally also includes possibly the two surnames as many people anglicised their surnames when coming to South Africa.

Please note that these records are for personal use and not for multiple lookups as this is against the terms and conditions of this website.
