Vehicle licence renewals

The Western Cape government have advised motorists from this province to check their vehicle licence disc expiry date and ensure they apply in time to avoid penalties.

In a statement Western Cape motorists are advised that
renewal notices for motor vehicle licences will not be sent via the South
African Post Office. This is while the National Department of Transport (NDOT) is in the
process of transferring the electronic National Traffic Information System
(eNaTIS) to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC).

eNaTIS is currently managed centrally at
NDOT, including the issuing of motor vehicle licence renewal notices. This
transition will directly affect the thousands of motorists in the province who
are required to renew their licence discs by the end of December 2016, and
possibly by 31 January 2017.

Motorists are urged to be proactive by
checking their licence disc expiry date, and ensuring that they apply in time
to avoid penalties. The Western Cape Department of Transport and Public
Works says they will do all they can to assist motorists during this period.

Affected motorists can visit their local
registering authority with their South African identity document and proof of
physical address.

To find out how much they owe, affected motorists residing outside of
the City of Cape Town can contact the Western Cape Department of Transport and
Public Works through one of the following service channels:
