# The Department of Home Affairs launched a nationwide campaign to assist people whose identity numbers were blocked before November 2022. Affected people have until 10 July to submit representations explaining why their IDs should be restored, in line with the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act. The department says the initiative aims to regularise records while protecting the National Population Register, with over 2.2-million IDs already unblocked through previous verification processes.
