Frequently Asked Questions About the B-BBEE EME Affidavit
Who qualifies as a commissioner of oaths for the affidavit?
A commissioner of oaths can be a South African Police Service officer, a notary or attorney, a magistrate, or a designated bank official. You usually do not need to pay a fee. Bring your identity document and the completed affidavit when visiting a commissioner.
How long is the B-BBEE affidavit valid?
The sworn affidavit is valid for 12 months from the date it is signed before the commissioner of oaths. You need to renew it each year to keep your EME compliance status current for tenders and procurement requirements.
Do I need the affidavit for every tender submission?
Yes. Most government departments and large corporations require a valid B-BBEE affidavit with each tender or procurement submission. A document older than 12 months will not be accepted. Keep a signed copy ready so you can submit it quickly when needed.
What happens if my annual turnover exceeds R10 million?
Once your annual turnover exceeds R10 million, your business no longer qualifies as an Exempted Micro Enterprise. You then need a formal B-BBEE verification certificate issued by an accredited verification agency. This process requires a full scorecard assessment across the five B-BBEE elements.
Can I fill out the B-BBEE affidavit online?
You can complete the form fields digitally using our online editor above. However, the final affidavit must be printed and signed by the business owner in the presence of a commissioner of oaths. The commissioner then signs, stamps, and dates the document to make it legally valid.
