Good Morning. My wife and I have moved to Namibia in March. I have closed my Standard Bank account, and are trying to get my wifes FNB account verified with SARS. They need a representative in South Africa to go in and do this. Can you assist. I asked my son in Cape Town to do it and he has all the paperwork etc. Kind regards,

Your son can do this for you if you give him a Power of Attorney authorising him to submit the documents on your behalf (because you are out of the country). He must take his ID along with a certified copy as well as a certified copy of your ID.
Please also read our blog on How to change your banking details at SARS to ensure he has all the other required documents.
