George Municipality has made temporary provision for electronic payment of vehicle licence renewals.
The customer starts by registering a profile online.

• Individual: initial, name, surname, ID number, driving licence number, contact details via mobile phone or email.
• Organisation: name of business, ID number of proxy, driving licence number of proxy, contact details via mobile phone or email.
• A one-time pin will be sent to your email or mobile phone number, which you must enter online.
• Go to the ‘View motor vehicle renewals’ section and verify the information.
  Access and/or download your electronic motor vehicle licence RENEWAL NOTICE (also known as a MVL2 notice).
