Motorists urged to upload required documents for online car licence renewal
The online renewal service is available for vehicle owners in all provinces, excluding the Western Cape.
THE South African Post Office (Sapo) has said there is a high demand for renewing vehicle licences and has encouraged vehicle owners to upload documents that comply with legal requirements.
Sapo spokesperson, Johan Kruger said individuals who wish to renew vehicle licences can avoid any unnecessary delay by making sure that they upload ID copies that are certified (certification not older than three months).
Kruger also urged individuals to ensure that documents are signed and that their proof of address is not older than three months.

The Post Office said it is introducing measures, including increasing the team working on licence renewals to keep up with demand.
“The full renewal process, including payment, is done online, leaving only the last step of accessing the actual disc. This is done in one of two ways; the Post Office can deliver the disc to the customer at R75 or the disc can be collected from a post office counter at no charge.
“Payment is done safely and securely through Masterpass, which the user can download from the Google Play Store for Android devices and the Apple App Store for Apple devices,” he said.
