DMPR clerk jobs 2026: three vacancies in this call

• 40/88, reference 0110: Registry Clerk, Cape Town.
• 40/89, reference 0111: Registry Clerk: Mineral Regulation, Braamfontein.
• 40/90, reference 0112: Administration Clerk, Braamfontein.

Requirements and work

The registry posts concern correspondence, records, filing and retrieval, with relevant public-service knowledge and computer skills. The administration role covers office support, procurement requests, assets and logistics, with numerical, communication and organisational skills.

No minimum number of experience years is specified for these posts. That does not remove the stated knowledge or skills requirements. Read each complete entry on printed pages 85–86 of the official notice.

Application documents and route

Use a current Z83, completed, initialled, signed and dated, plus a detailed CV with three referees and contact details. Certified supporting documents are requested if shortlisted. The notice gives the official portal and alternative delivery routes, along with qualification-verification and selection conditions.

Prepare an accurate clerk application

The following is independent editorial preparation advice. It does not add qualifications or describe a confirmed assessment for these vacancies.

Start with the correct post reference

Record the title, reference and workplace for each job that interests you. Compare the duties with your actual knowledge and circumstances before applying. Similar job titles do not mean the roles, locations or requirements are interchangeable.

If you prepare more than one application, keep a separate checklist and document folder for each. Open every form and check the reference inside it; changing a filename does not change the information written on the form.

Check the qualification and licence details

Use the exact qualification information shown on your records. Check the validity of your driver’s licence before describing it as valid. Do not assume that holding a learner’s licence or having applied for a document meets a requirement for a valid driver’s licence.

If you hold a foreign qualification or have a document issue, read the official instructions and seek clarification through the listed enquiry route. Explain your situation accurately rather than changing the description to make it appear simpler.

Make your skills easy to assess

Choose genuine examples that demonstrate care with information. You might have maintained a list, organised documents, checked entries or helped someone locate a record. Explain the task, your own role and how you checked for mistakes.

If the example comes from school, volunteering or informal assistance, label it honestly. Do not present a one-off activity as a full-time position. Relevant evidence can be useful without being exaggerated into employment history.

Describe computer skills concretely

Instead of simply writing “computer literate,” identify tasks you can perform. Examples may include creating a readable document, entering information accurately or organising files. Only list tasks you can explain and demonstrate.

Check that your own application reflects those skills. Use consistent dates, readable formatting and clear filenames. Open the exported document to confirm that pages are complete and that your contact details have not been cut off.

Prepare for questions about service and organisation

Think of a time you handled an unclear request, competing tasks or an upset person. Explain how you listened, confirmed what was needed and acted within your responsibility. Avoid claiming that you solved a situation alone if a supervisor or colleague made the final decision.

For an organisational example, describe how you prioritised work and kept track of unfinished tasks. Specific actions are more persuasive than repeated claims of being hardworking, efficient or a good team player.

Check your referees and personal details

Ask potential referees whether they are willing to be contacted and verify their preferred details. Choose people who know your work, studies or conduct. A prestigious name is not useful if the person cannot speak accurately about you.

Review your own telephone number and email address, and use an inbox you can access regularly. Keep a copy of the final CV so you know which information the department received.

Understand the financial and practical terms

An advertised annual salary is not the same as take-home pay. Before accepting an offer, ask about the written appointment terms, deductions, workplace arrangements and start date. Do not assume extra allowances or benefits that have not been confirmed.

Consider the cost and reliability of commuting to the relevant location. Wait for a verified offer before making non-refundable relocation arrangements or resigning from an existing job.

Frequently asked questions

Should I apply simply because I have matric?

Review all requirements, including the licence and role-specific knowledge. One qualification does not replace the rest of the criteria.

Can I use the same reference for both Braamfontein posts?

No. Use the reference for the particular job you want to be considered for.

Does submitting an application guarantee an interview?

No. Keep your submission evidence, but treat selection as a separate process controlled by the employer.

Graduates seeking training rather than these clerk jobs can read the separate DMPR graduate internships guide. The two calls have different eligibility and appointment terms.
