Vehicle License Renewal Fees

Your car licence renewal fees vary from province to province, and are based on the vehicles tare weight and type.

You get a 21-day grace period in which to renew an expired motor vehicle licence. The grace period is calculated from the expiry date of the current licence disc, and a late renewal penalty applies after this time. the penalty fee is calculated at 1/10th of the annual licencing fee per month that the licence remains lapsed.

You must renew your motor vehicle licence at your appropriate registering authority or at a selected post office that is located within your jurisdiction

*Please also bring a proof of address and copy of ID with all licence renewal applications

This change which took effect from 1 November 2015 means that motorists and companies will have to provide the following information when registering vehicles and renewing car licence discs:

• Full names, date of birth, identity number, and business registration number, along with a copy of any form of acceptable identification.
• Proof of postal and residential address, by means of any utility account. As with RICA and FICA, if your name isn’t on the account you need an affidavit from the person in whose name the account is stating you live at that address.
• If you live in an informal settlement, you need a letter with an official date stamp from the ward councillor confirming your postal and residential address.

In addition, if your details have changed, you must complete and hand in an NCP form (notification of change in particulars). This form is available at all licensing authorities or to download here.
