Motorists can now significantly reduce transaction times for the renewal of motor vehicle licences at the Post Office by first registering on the National Traffic Information System (NATIS) website.<\/P>
<\/P>
According to The South African Post Office (SAPO), drivers who are registered on NATIS will then receive a reminder via an SMS with a reference number before renewal is due.<\/P>
<\/P>
\u201cVehicle owners can also choose to receive a reminder with the same information through email,\u201d SAPO said on Tuesday.<\/P>
<\/P>
Presenting the SMS or printed renewal reminder eliminates several steps for the renewal transaction at a Post Office counter and saves a great deal of time. <\/P>
<\/P>
To speed up the renewal process, the renewal notice can be printed by customers and presented at the Post Office when renewing the vehicle licence.<\/P>
<\/P>
Motorists can go to https:\/\/www.natis.gov.za\/ and click on online services, then vehicle renewals to register and subsequently download and print the notice, or to receive a renewal reminder SMS.<\/P>
<\/P>
In the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, proof of address is required every second year and the safest option is to bring along proof of address when renewing your vehicle licence. <\/P>
<\/P>
Post Office branches offer a bulk drop-off and collect service for fleet renewals. <\/P>
<\/P>
This is impractical for private motorists since there may be traffic fines outstanding that have to be paid first before the system allows the licence to be renewed.<\/P>
<\/P>
However, where the Post Office logo appears on the printed traffic fine, it can also be paid at any branch. <\/P>
<\/P>
In addition, cards and cash are accepted as payment for motor vehicle licences.<\/P>
<\/P>
Meanwhile, SAPO said its online renewal facility for motor vehicle licences has been delayed by administrative and legal requirements and is expected to be launched in early 2022.<\/P>
