    Sometimes it's captured the same day, sometimes it can take up to a month just to get captured. You're in for a long wait, a good few months. Unlikely to be completed this year. So be patient. Give them a couple of weeks and then call the call centre to get your reference, or contact your DFO.

    I recall hearing that the sms system was down, so the sms might never come.

    I would phone Pretoria 012 353 6111 and ask them for a progress report. they ask for your ID number and then you ask them for thereference number.

    My wife also never received a SMS.

    I phoned a DFO from a local SAPS to get the ref. number. Now I can track the lack of progress on the website or the "Where's my APP" app.

    I think the CFR has not paid the contractors fees for said SMS service, either intentional or due to oversight.

    Hi everyone. My application for a further competency got sent back from the CFR to the provincial DFO on 26/10/2020, for "missing information". I've checked in at the DFO twice in the past 2 weeks and they still haven't received it.

    I know this is a waiting game. Just want to know if this has happened to someone on this forum before and what the most common "missing information" reason could be so that they had to send it back?
