Updating your passport details with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) is an important step to maintain the accuracy of your visa and immigration records. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to update your new passport information with the DHA:

3. Update your passport details: Select the ‘Update Details’ section and choose ‘Change of passport details’ to update your passport information, including your passport number, expiry date, and place of issue.
4. Upload supporting evidence: You will need to upload a scanned copy of your new passport after you have updated your passport details.
