This is separate from your verification selfie — it's just what families see on your public profile once you're verified.

Selfie & liveness check · Verify your identity with Smile ID

Elite Traders Lounge partners with Smile ID to confirm your identity against your ID/passport and run a facial-liveness check automatically when you submit this form. Once verified, your profile displays a “Verified identity” badge that families can see.

We take one clear photo of your face, then a quick photo burst while you slowly turn your head — this proves a real person is submitting, not a photo of a photo. Your camera feed is never recorded, only these still frames are sent to Smile ID.

AFIS check or police clearance certificate (required) A valid SAPS Police Clearance Certificate · JPG, PNG, or PDF, max 6MB. Don't have one yet? You can apply at any police station for a once-off fee of R190 — take your ID/passport, get SAPS 91(a) fingerprints taken, and pay at the station or by EFT; see the official SAPS guidance. This must be renewed every 12 months.

Child Protection Register (Part B) clearance letter (required) Proof you are not listed on Part B of South Africa's National Child Protection Register · JPG, PNG, or PDF, max 6MB. Apply for a free Form 30 individual enquiry by emailing your ID copy to CPRenquiries@dsd.gov.za. This must be renewed every 12 months.

National Register for Sex Offenders (NRSO) clearance certificate (required) Proof you are not listed on the National Register for Sex Offenders · JPG, PNG, or PDF, max 6MB. Apply for free using Form 7 (J738) at your nearest Department of Justice office, or use a paid provider — see the vetting guidance box below. This must be renewed every 12 months.

Bank confirmation letter (required) A letter or stamped statement from your bank showing your name and your account number · JPG, PNG, or PDF, max 6MB. Most banks let you download this from their app in about a minute, free of charge. It is how we confirm the account we pay you into belongs to you.

Getting your NRSO and Child Protection Register clearances — you pay for these yourself, directly to the government or a private provider; Elite Traders Lounge never charges or handles this money.

Free, self-service (government): download Form 7 / J738 (NRSO application) and Form 30 (Child Protection Register enquiry). Submit Form 7 with a free police-station fingerprint report to your nearest Department of Justice office; email Form 30 with a certified ID copy to CPRenquiries@dsd.gov.za.

Paid, faster (our preferred affordable provider): Checknet (Pty) Ltd, Pretoria, is our preferred affordable verification company. Use our Checknet discounted-rate page — the discount is already applied through that link. You order and pay Checknet directly; Elite Traders Lounge never handles this money and receives no referral fee or commission.

• NRSO certificate and Child Protection Register certificate — fully online: order through the discounted-rate page, then upload or courier your certified documents. No branch visit needed.

• 48-hour AFIS police clearance — needs a quick in-person fingerprint scan by an accredited agent near you. Start from the same discounted-rate page; the scan takes about 3 minutes and your certificate is emailed within 48 hours.

I consent to Smile ID verifying my identity (document check + facial liveness) and to Elite Traders Lounge reviewing my police clearance certificate, Child Protection Register clearance, and (if applicable) foreign police clearance as part of registration and each annual renewal.

I consent to Elite Traders Lounge carrying out discretionary or random background, document, and identity verification checks on me at any time, in addition to the standard checks above.

Where I choose to use CheckNet for my police clearance, Child Protection Register, or NRSO checks, I consent to CheckNet sending my results directly to Elite Traders Lounge at verifications@etlbabysitters.co.za. I still upload my own documents to the platform regardless.

I confirm the details above are accurate and I agree to the Elite Traders Lounge Babysitter Contract, the Terms & Conditions, the Refund & Cancellation Policy, and the POPIA data protection terms.

There is no fee to register or be verified as a babysitter.
