Transport department moves into the digital age to minimise the need to queue at driving licence testing centres
Vehicle licence discs and driving licences can now be booked online and delivered to your doorstep.SA motorists are now able to apply for or book motor vehicle licences and driving licences online instead of queuing at driving licence testing centres .which has been rolled out nationally after initially being available in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape.
The online notification of change of ownership of a motor vehicle by the title holder or owner will be implemented later. While the online services do not eliminate the need for queuing, they have been introduced to improve service delivery and minimise the need for a motorist to visit a DLTC a number of times, said transport minister Fikile Mbalula.
“This will improve convenience and help to combat crime associated with the change of ownership of vehicles. The benefit of these services is that motorists and private companies will be transacting directly on the NaTIS, eliminating middlemen who fuelled corruption”.
