Pretoria: With more motorists opting for the convenience of online vehicle license renewal, the Road Traffic Management Corporation’s (RTMC) online platform has now reached four million transactions.

According to South African Government News Agency, the increase in online activity since its introduction in February 2022 is a testament of public approval in RTMC’s innovative initiative aimed at bringing convenience when renewing license discs and assisting motorists to avoid long queues at vehicle licensing centres. These transactions affirm RTMC as the biggest and most reliable online vehicle license platform in the country.

RTMC has encouraged motorists to enjoy the benefit of the service by logging onto the platform and registering an account in five easy steps using a smart cell phone, laptop, or computer. To create an account, users need to visit natis.gov.za, click on register, select whether registering as an individual or business, enter personal details such as identity number, initials, and surname, then click next. After entering the vehicle number plate, users should click next again, enter contact details, and submit to finish registering.

‘After registration, you will be entitled to receive email and SMS reminders when the renewals of your vehicle licence become due. The email reminder will contain a renewal form which you can use to fill in and renew online without hassle,’ RTMC stated.
