Reacquiring Lost Citizenship in South Africa

How did you lose your South African citizenship?

South Africans lost citizenship in several ways, and the Constitutional Court's 2025 judgment undid only one. If you were told that taking another passport ended it, choose the first answer. If you are not sure how it happened, check your status on the Home Affairs Citizenship Reinstatement Portal (myhomeaffairsonline.dha.gov.za) before answering.
