"My mother-in-law has been following up for over a year and I've come here to try and chase it up but I'm not sure if I will have any luck. We live overseas and battle to get any documents through our Consulate so we have to come back to get documents that we require," he said.
Meanwhile this desperate mother, says she's been to Home Affairs four times to pick up her son's ID.
"We came at 5am in the morning and now we only got to here. It's still full inside - the queues are ridiculous and they don't move. There's no order."
