EMPD Tip of the Week
Vehicle owners are urged to renew their motor vehicle licence annually as prescribed by the National Road Traffic Act.
The EMPD has shared valuable steps to follow when renewing your car licence at the registering authority or selected post office.
Here is how you can renew a vehicle licence disc:
• Complete an application form at the registering authority.
• The application shall be accompanied by the original ID or a clear certified copy of the ID which must not be older than three months, a valid driving licence, not a temporary driving licence, a South African passport or a traffic register number accompanied by a valid passport with a valid work, study, spousal or relative permit.
• If the physical address has not been verified and is different from the address on eNaTIS, proof of residence is required. Proof of address shall be either the utility account in the owner’s name, clothing account, lease agreement, bank account statement or if the owner is staying with someone, the landlord’s utility account accompanied by an affidavit by the owner of the property – stating that the applicant is staying with him or her. All these must not be older than three months.
• In the case of a business entity, the application shall be accompanied by a copy of the business registration number certificate and the ID or certified ID copy of the company’s proxy or representative.
• The appropriate licence fee, which is determined by the tare of the motor vehicle to be licensed, must be paid to the registering authority.
• Most registering authorities are cashless facilities, and that means only bank cards are accepted. In the case of companies, the companies pay through EFT. The company can apply at the finance department and an EFT account is created for each company.
