Motorists will need a proof of address when they renew or apply for their motor vehicle and driver’s licences, with effect November 1, the Western Cape Transport and Public Works department said yesterday.
According to the department spokesman, Byron la Hoe, licence applicants will have to provide proof of particulars (full names and identity number) and residential and postal addresses for verification.
This means any person, company or organisation will be required to submit proof of full names, identity or business number, and residential and postal address before any registering authority can issue a motor vehicle licence disc or operator card.
“The new regulations will require each person to provide proof of particulars (full names and identity number) and residential and postal addresses for verification when there is a change of particulars or change of address; or with the first application that is made for a NaTIS service at a registering authority or driving licence testing centre from November 1 onwards.”
Vehicle fleet owners will be required to provide information with the first transaction or service they apply for on NaTIS.
