Can I renew my car license during lockdown?
Driving license testing centres and vehicle testing stations across the country will remain closed during the lockdown period.
The regulations came into force immediately after the president’s call for a national lockdown.
South Africa’s car and driver’s licenses will remain valid while Covid-19 measures keep licensing offices closed and keep citizens from renewing their paperwork, according to new transport regulations.
In terms of disaster regulations issued by transport minister Fikile Mbalula, during the lock-down, the validity period for learner’s license, driving license, motor vehicle license disk, temporary permit, professional driving permit and roadworthy certificates shall be deemed to be valid.
These regulations may be extended for a further grace period of 30 days from the date of expiry of a lockdown unless determined otherwise.
The validity period for the renewal of a motor trade number license during the lockdown shall be deemed to be valid and shall be extended fora further grace period of 6 months from the date of expiry of a lockdown.
