In the Gazette, government extended a grace period that would see these documents remain valid until August 31, 2021.
“Licence discs were not included. The extension was created to open up space for all types of licence renewals, updates and makes at Driving Licence Testing Centres (DLTCs) responding to the backlog created by the lockdown period,” the department said in a statement.
