No grace period for vehicle disks expired during lockdown
The period is for all learners’ licences, temporary driving licence cards and professional driving permits that expired between 26 March and 31 December in 2020.
The Department of Transport has once again reiterated that the grace period for licence renewals, ending 31 August 2021, does not include vehicle licences/licence disks.
“The period is for all learners’ licences, temporary driving licence cards, and professional driving permits that expired from the 26 of March to 31 December 2020,” the department said in a statement.
“The extension of licences did not include vehicle licences/licence disk.”
It said the extension was created as a response to the backlog created by last year’s lockdown period.
