With the festive season fast approaching, the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) has called on motorists to renew their motor vehicle licence discs before finalising their travel arrangements.
“A total of 1 002 771 vehicle licences discs are set to expire at the end of October. A further 1 060 382 will expire in November, while 1 112 393 will expire in December,” the RTMC said.
That’s a total of 3 175 546 discs that will expire before New Year.
Reminder to motorists
The RTMC said it will be sending out SMS’s and email reminders to all motorists who are registered on the online renewal platform, reminding them to comply.
To register on the platform, motorists need to log on to online.natis.gov.za and follow the steps to upload their details.
According to RTMC, the platform has proven to be most popular with vehicle owners.
“About five million vehicle licences have been renewed on this platform since its launch in 2022. An average of 7 908 daily renewals were processed on this platform in the past seven days.
“Clients from major banking institutions such as Capitec, First National Bank and Nedbank have access to the platform through their banking apps,” RTMC said.
Safe service to pay
The platform now offers motorists a safe service to pay their Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Enforcement Orders.
This value-added service is intended to improve convenience and to enable users to save time by using a one-stop service for their vehicle licence compliance needs.
A relatively new offering on the platform is the online vehicle registration and change of owners.
This offering is directed at motor vehicle dealers who deal with bulk transactions and require a fast, secure platform register vehicles.
More than 10 large motor vehicle dealerships have now registered and are conducting transactions on the platform daily.
A total of 120 230 change of ownership transactions were conducted on the platform from April to October 2025 with 78 239 registrations taking place in the same period.
