How to save time and money by renewing your licence disc online
Did you know that you can renew your licence disc online? This convenient service helps you avoid long queues at traffic centres, saving you valuable time and money. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the process.
NaTIS Online Platform
The National Administration Traffic Information System (NaTIS) offers an easy-to-use online service. To begin, you need to register a profile.
This includes providing your name, surname, ID number, and address. Once your application is processed, your new disc will be couriered to your address. Visit online.natis.gov.za to get started.
Requirements for Licence Renewal
Before applying, ensure you have the necessary documents:
- Your identity document (ID)
- Proof of residential address (e.g., utility bill)
- Motor vehicle licence renewal notice (MVL2) or an Application for Licensing of Motor Vehicle form (ALV) form if you haven’t received the renewal notice
Step-by-Step Process
- Log into the NaTIS platform.
- Select “View Motor Renewals.”
- Choose the relevant vehicle.
- Enter your bank details and make the payment.
The application is usually processed the same day, and the disc arrives within 14 working days.
Roadworthiness for Certain Vehicles
If your vehicle is used for public transport or heavy loads, you need a roadworthiness certificate. This step ensures your vehicle meets safety standards before renewal.
Alternative Online Licence Renewal Options
Besides NaTIS, there are other ways to renew your licence online:
1. e-Services in the Western Cape
If you live in the Western Cape, you can use e-Services for online renewals. It’s best to use a desktop, as the system isn’t fully mobile-friendly.
2. Make an Online Appointment
Avoid queues by booking a slot online at participating centres. Check availability and make an appointment ahead of time.
Post Office Services
Did you know you can renew your licence disc at the post office? Contact their call centre at 0860 111 502 to find a nearby operational branch.
Bank Assistance
Certain banks, like FNB and Wesbank, offer licence renewal services through their apps. Check with your bank for specific details, but note that courier fees may apply.
Third-Party Websites
Third-party websites such as PayCity, LicenceRenewal, and EasyRenew also offer this service. They charge additional fees ranging from R170 to R300, plus courier costs.
Tips
Renew your licence one month before it expires to avoid delays. Whether you choose NaTIS or a third-party service, planning ahead will ensure a smooth process.
By renewing your licence disc online, you save time and reduce stress—no more long queues or last-minute rushes.
