Expired Licence Gets Grace Period According To Fikile Mbalula

According to the latest Government Gazette, drivers’ licenses that expired from 26 March 2020 to 31 December 2020 have been extended for a seven-month grace period ending 1 August 2021.

This is due to the effect of lockdown causing challenges in license renewals with centres struggling to handle backlogs of thousands of licenses.

EXTENSION OF:

All learners licenses, driving license cards, temporary driving license cards and professional driving permits that expired from 26 March 2020 to 31 December 2020 are deemed valid for a grace period ending 31 August 2021.#
