Mpumalanga Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison has announced that it's Transport Administration and Licensing Section, which handles the issuing and renewal of driving licence cards, licence discs, Vehicle testing and others will be working extended hours in thirteen (13) DLTC's in the province.
This follows the announcement of a 30 days grace period for holders of driving licence cards that expired between 26 March 2020 and 31 August 2021.
Holders of the specified expired driving licenses have until 05 May 2022 to renew them.
There is a considerable backlog of expired driving licence cards as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mpumalanga Community Safety Security and Liaison MEC Vusi Shongwe is therefore appealing to motorists to take advantage of the extended deadlines and working hours that have been allocated so that they do not miss the opportunity.
"It is important for every driver whose license has expired to visit their nearest DLTC to renew their licences", says Shongwe.

Monday to Friday;
08h00 - 18h00;
