Tuesday is the deadline for the renewal of motor vehicle license discs that expired during the Covid-19 shutdown between the end of March and May 31.

An extension was granted to the period of validity of all motor vehicle licenses, permits and certificates of fitness to drive that expired until the end of August, the Road Traffic Management Corporation. “Beyond this period, drivers were entitled to 21 days to renew the vehicle’s discs without incurring late payment costs. “

The extension affected 2,465,439 motorists whose vehicle discs expired during the lockdown period, of which 69% had taken advantage of the extension and renewed their licenses at the end of last week.

The RTMC asked those who have not yet renewed their vehicle licenses to do so urgently.

“Drivers who do not renew vehicle licenses at the end of business [on Tuesday September 22] you will incur additional late renewal costs. Fines are calculated at 10% of the annual license fees per month. They also run the risk of receiving traffic fines of up to R1,000 if they are stopped by traffic officers while driving an unlicensed motor vehicle on a public road. “
