Cut DHA Identity Verification Costs in South Africa with SprintHive’s Identity Vault

Johannesburg, South Africa – As the Department of Home Affairs’ (DHA) identity verification fees soar by a staggering 6,500% from July 1, 2025, businesses face unprecedented compliance costs. SprintHive offers a robust reverification solution: the Identity Vault.

What is SprintHive’s Identity Vault

Our Identity Vault empowers businesses to reverify existing customers efficiently without repeated, costly DHA calls. The system securely stores previously verified biometric data (selfies) with proper consent. When a customer needs reverification, their new selfie is compared against their stored reference identity, generating a real-time risk assessment. This bypasses expensive DHA lookups for reverifications, reducing operational costs. For new customers, the system seamlessly falls back to standard DHA-based verification.

The SprintHive Identity Vault is currently available for non-document based (selfie-only) verification.

How to Get Started with SprintHive

Clients using selfie-only Identity Verification can activate SprintHive’s Identity Vault by:

• Providing consent for selfie storage

• Specifying data retention policies

• Authorising Identity Vault pre-population using historical data

• Signing the pricing addendum

• Submitting an implementation request
