The SA Post Office Launches Online Service for Motor Vehicle Licence Renewals

The South African Post Office (Sapo) has launched a new online service for the renewal of motor vehicle licences from any mobile electronic device. 

The post office said the full renewal process, including payment, will be done online, leaving only the last step of accessing the licence disc. 

It said the licence disc can be delivered to the customer at an affordable delivery fee or it can be collected from a post office counter. 

“The payment is done safely and securely through Masterpass, which the user can download from the Google Play Store for Android devices and the Apple App Store for Apple devices.  No commission is charged on the renewal transaction.”  

The post office said the cost of delivery to door is R75 and there is no charge to the customer when it is collected from a post office counter. 

“The customer will receive an SMS when the disc arrives at a post office for collection or when it goes out for delivery.”

The post office said the turnaround time is three working days, while it may be up to two days longer for outlying areas.
