This ensures that only eligible people receive grants and prevents fraudulent or duplicate applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Needs to Register for Biometric Enrolment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 01 September 2026, biometric enrollment will apply to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All new social grant applications<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clients undergoing reviews<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beneficiaries requesting personal detail changes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clients using services without built-in biometric verification<\/strong> (such as certain maintenance services), where direct enrollment on the <strong>BBE system<\/strong> is required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is Biometric Enrollment Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main goal of introducing biometric enrollment is to protect the integrity of the SASSA grant system.
