Documents, Requirements or Steps to Check
What you need to take with you depends on why you are visiting the police station.
Before travelling, consider whether you need:
- an identity document or another form of identification;
- supporting documents connected to the matter you are reporting;
- reference or case information if you are following up on an existing matter;
- copies or original documents if you need a document-related police service; or
- additional information requested by SAPS for the particular service you need.
Requirements can differ according to the task, so do not assume that every police-station service needs the same documents.
If your visit is specifically to make an affidavit, use the dedicated guide to getting an affidavit at Dobsonville Police Station before going. That keeps affidavit requirements separate from this page, which focuses on the Dobsonville Police Station address and finding the station.
