No proof of address in the correct name?
If you can't provide proof of address in your own name, or in the company's name, SARS accepts a two-part confirmation from the person who does hold proof for that address. This is done using the SARS CRA01 form.
The two-part CRA01 route
The address holder completes and signs the SARS CRA01
The owner, landlord or lawful occupier of the property completes and signs the SARS CRA01 form, confirming that the person or company resides at, or carries on business at, that address.
The same signatory supplies their own proof of address
That third party then attaches their own accepted proof of address showing the same address, in their own name, and dated within the last three months.

What the CRA01 must contain
The third party's personal and contact details
The third party's ID or passport information
The full physical address
The third party's relationship to the taxpayer or entity
The company's registered name and registration number
The tax reference number, where applicable
The date and the third party's signature
The third party's own recent proof of the identical address (within three months)
Requirements to get right
The address on the CRA01 and the address on the supporting proof must match exactly.
The CRA01 form must be signed.
The supporting document must be dated within the last three months.
The address must be the person's or the company's genuine physical address.
Import / export applications
For import and export applications, SARS may require a company-address affidavit sworn before a commissioner of oaths, rather than the CRA01. Confirm which document applies before preparing it.
If your business has moved
Confirm your declared address is current before preparing any documents. If the business has moved, the address on file with SARS may need to be updated first so that everything matches.
