What documents are needed to RICA a SIM card or for KYC?

MarketDirect is required by law to prove your identity and location before you can get the VoIP service delivered to you, but we require these documents to avoid complications in the future.

RICA stands for the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of communication‑related information Act.

It is a law passed by the South African government that requires ALL cellphone users to register their numbers.

This legislation aims to help law enforcement agencies to identify cellphone users and track criminals using cellphones
for illegal activities.

Valid proof of residence

1. Bank Statement or Municipal Bill (not older than three months)
2. Cellphone or Retail Account (not older than three months)
3. Any document issued monthly that is not older than 90 days contains one’s residential address and name.

Valid Identity documents

1. South African ZA Green Barcoded ID book or Smart Card + a copy.
2. South African ZA Passport + a copy.
3. Foreign passport + a copy (including any supporting documents).
