The process of changing your address for your vehicle registration is not difficult, but it does take time and can be frustrating. Instead of queuing at driving licence testing centers, motorists in South Africa can now book motor vehicle licences and driving licences online (DLTCs).
The department of transport has launched a slew of online services on the RTMC’s https://online.natis.gov.za online platform, which was initially available in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape before being rolled out nationally.

- A thorough description of your vehicle.
