What if my security contact details have changed?

The “Forgot Username or Password” function will trigger a one-time password to your security contact details on the system.

To check that SARS still has your correct email address and cell number, log in to sarsefiling.co.za and click on “My Profile” on the top-left of the screen.

If one of the security details has changed, you can update it here on the screen, but if both have changed, you will need to call the Contact Centre on 0800 00 7277 or visit a branch (remember to make an appointment first).
