First, try to go to the base early in the morning and ask one of the Soldiers or Guards at the base. Second, try to come up with a good reason why you need an id card. The id card is an important form of identification in South Africa and is a great way to make life easier. If you are originally from Texas and your id card has been expired for more than six months, you will need to renew it. If you are not sure if your card number is correct, make sure to check with your health insurance company. This might be a better option than trying to figure out the card number yourself. The purpose of such cards is to identify people who are in the United States without proper documents, and to more efficiently access government services.
