MOVIT Sites:

MOVIT is the Master’s own fingerprint verification system which scans an applicant’s fingerprints and then verifies his/her identity through a link with Home Affairs. The Guardian’s Fund of the Master will not make a payment to an applicant without verifying his/her identity through MOVIT first.

As this has now been rolled out to designated Service Points, citizens are able to lodge their applications in the area where they reside, without the need to travel long distances to the 6 Master’s Offices providing the Guardian’s fund services in order to personally go and verify their fingerprints at the Master’s Office.

Completed applications for funds can be lodged directly at the mentioned Magistrate Offices, instead of needing to travel long distances to the Master’s Office where their funds are being administrated to lodge same. The Magistrate’s Office then couriers the completed application to the correct Master’s Office, who in turn processes the application and pays the beneficiary by way of EFT. The vulnerable are now better served through a safer and quicker means of payment.
