The South African Department of Home Affairs is implementing new requirements on June 1st, 2015 for travelers under 18 years old entering or leaving South Africa. Travelers under 18 will need to present an unabridged birth certificate listing their parents' details at check-in. Exceptions include countries that do not issue unabridged birth certificates or documents not in English, which require a letter from the foreign authority. A single parent traveling with a child also needs the other parent's authorization like an affidavit or court order, or a death certificate if deceased.
