A circular is only open until its own deadline. Do not apply to an old advert. Confirm the live vacancy's requirements, reference number, application route and closing date.

How to complete the Z83 form

Download the current official DPSA Z83 form, effective from 1 January 2021, or obtain one from a national or provincial department. It is for an advertised government post.

Complete every section accurately and legibly. Copy the position, department and reference number exactly as stated in the advert. The form says every application must be signed and initialled and that failure to sign may lead to disqualification. Attach a detailed CV.

Follow the individual advert if its instructions differ. Social Development Circular 41 of 2026 required a completed, signed new Z83 and detailed CV for hand-delivered applications. For its online applications, it required an updated eRecruitment profile and only a CV in PDF format as an attachment.

Apply only through the route in the advert. It may direct you to eRecruitment, or it may give a hand-delivery or postal address. Use the stated address and submit the documents the advert requires.

The date and time in each advert control the application. Social Development Circular 41 of 2026 closed on 6 November 2026, with a 16:00 walk-in deadline and a 23:59 online deadline. Those deadlines are past and apply only to that circular.

  • Read the complete vacancy notice.
  • Confirm you meet every requirement.
  • Use the exact job title and reference number.
  • Submit before the stated date and time.
  • Keep a copy of your application and proof of submission.

The South African Government public-service guidance says applicants must submit the completed Z83 and documents required by the advert to the listed address. Departments may use different recruitment processes.
