Vehicle License Renewal Urgency

The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) has issued a warning concerning the expiration of over 1 million vehicle licenses by the end of September 2023. To avoid penalties, it’s crucial for affected individuals to take prompt action, including exploring third-party license renewal services.

Extensions and the Need for Quick Renewal

The RTMC had previously granted extensions on license renewals due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the impending deadline, it’s advisable to act swiftly. Utilizing third-party license renewal services or going online can expedite the process and prevent overdue vehicle violations.

Third-Party License Renewal Services

Several third-party license renewal services are available, typically for a fee. These services can streamline the renewal process and help avoid fines and demerit points associated with expired vehicle licenses. Here are some key violations and penalties:

  • Vehicle not registered: Fine of R1,000 and 3 demerit points.
  • Vehicle not licensed: Fine of R1,000 and 3 demerit points.
  • Number plates not SABS approved: Fine of R500 and 1 demerit point.
  • Not displaying number plates: Court appearance and 6 demerit points.

Online Renewal Options

For a convenient online renewal process, the Department of Transport’s eNatis.gov.za website is recommended. This portal, now serving all provinces, charges a service fee of R72 and a delivery fee of R99, totaling R171.

Western Cape’s Alternative

The Western Cape offers its own online service known as e-Services, with the same fees as the national portal—R72 for the service and R99 for delivery, amounting to R171.

Additional Considerations

It’s essential to note that the fees mentioned are in addition to the specific vehicle license renewal cost, which varies based on the vehicle’s unladen mass (Tare) and the province of registration. Various specialist third-party license renewal services are also available in South Africa, offering different pricing and services.
