GEORGE NEWS - George Municipality will soon boast a brand-new motor vehicle and registration (MVR) satellite office that will also offer a drive-through service for licence disk renewals - a first in the Western Cape province. The building is located at no 9 George Street, next to the Blanco Community Hall.
It will be open weekdays from 08:00 till 15:00, except on Wednesday afternoons when it will close at 14:00 due to compulsory training.
The new satellite office will handle bulk MVR services at the inside counters, and the innovative drive-through service will only be for customers to renew up to a maximum of two motor vehicle licences at a time.
The official opening date for the site will be announced shortly.
The municipality urges motorists to register on E-Natis in order to be able to use the drive-through service when it opens. (See how to register below.)
This is how the drive-through service will work:
- ONLY motor vehicle licence renewals can be done at the drive-through window. (All other transactions must be handled at the Hibernia Street premises.)
- An official on site will guide vehicles and proceedings at the drive-through in the initial stages.
- Please have your MVL2 printout or notice number ready. You cannot be assisted without this documentation. (Please note: the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) no longer allows you to print a copy of your MVL2 from E-Natis.)
- Please take note that a maximum of two licences may be processed per visit, per person.
- No cash payments will be accepted; payment is via card only.
- Vehicle owners must register on E-Natis in order to receive a notification of the expiry of your MVR.
This is how you register on E-Natis:
Start by registering a profile online at https://online.natis.gov.za/#/. Choose between registering as a Business or Individual.
- Enter the following details for Individual: identification type, identification number, initials and surname.
- Enter the following details for Businesses: business/company details - identification type, identification number, company name. Proxy details - identification type, identification number, initials, surname.
- Please enter the CAW number of any of the vehicles registered in your name/company name in order to register and then proceed to the next step.
- Enter your latest cellphone number and e-mail address accurately, along with your chosen username and password, and click on NEXT.
- You or your company are now registered on the online E-Natis system and will receive either your electronic MVL2 via e-mail, or your notice number via SMS, a month before your motor vehicle licence expiry date. (Please note that the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) no longer allows you to print a copy of your MVL2 from E-Natis.)
- The amount for the renewal of your vehicle will be on the MVL2 notice, along with all your motor vehicle particulars.
- If you have already registered on E-Natis, please ensure that your most recent e-mail address and cellphone number are updated in order to receive notification of your licence expiry.
- Once you receive either an MVL2 notice via e-mail or notice number via SMS, you may present this to the licensing office for your renewal.
- Please note that OVERDUE licences may NOT be renewed with the MVL2 and notice number. A green ALV form is required to renew overdue licences and in cases where the owner/company did not receive any of these notifications.
