The current level 4 lockdown regulations allows the movement of children between co-holders of parental responsibilities and rights or a caregiver, in the same metropolitan area or district municipality provided that the co-holders of parental responsibilities and rights or caregiver is in possession of :
- A Court Order;
- A parental responsibilities and rights agreement or a parenting plan, registered with the Family Advocate;
- A permit issued by a Magistrate which corresponds with Form 3 of Annexure A if the documentation in paragraphs (1) and (2) is not available.
Furthermore, the movement of children between co-holders of parental responsibilities and rights or a caregiver, between different metropolitan areas, district municipalities or provinces is also allowed if the co-holders of parental responsibilities and rights or a caregiver, is in possession of a permit issued by a Magistrate which corresponds with Form 3 of Annexure A.
Please do not hesitate to contact our offices should you require any assistance in obtaining a permit to travel between provinces to collect or return your minor children.
