Vehicle licensing requires proof of postal and residential address

Anyone wishing to do business with the licensing authority and the Natis system will have to provide proof of their address details, according to Regulation 32 (A) of the National Road Traffic Regulations that came into effect on 1 November this year.

Regulations have been amended to authorise the refusal of the issue of a license disc if the person has not provided proof of their physical and postal address.

The following information will be required in order to register vehicles, renew licence discs and driving licences: full name; date of birth; identity number and business registration number; along with any form of acceptable identification; proof of postal and residential address by means of any utility account. Where the person is not the owner of the account, the person in whose name the account is issued must make an affidavit or affirmation,declaring that the person resides at the address and the affidavit must be accompanied by the utility account of such a person.

In the case of residents of an informal settlement, a letter with an official date stamp from the ward councillor confirming the postal and residential address of such a person is required. In addition, people complying with these requirements must complete an NCP form and submit it along with the above. This form is available at all licensing authorities.
