Caerus Posted June 25, 2013 Share Where is the best place to go and apply for a new drivers licence, my wallet was stolen and I need to replace it. Somewhere that is efficient and I can get it turned around as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, in JHB for sure, I go all the time. Renewed my license a few months back and went to the optician in Fourways crossing, made an appointment over the phone, arrived and left in 15 minutes, collected my card about three weeks later. No extra cost either, the same as you pay at any municipal office where you wait in line for 5 hours. I would have imagined Cape Town had similar.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted June 25, 2013 Share I'll call my optician now and find out, thanks for the heads up Cool, otherwise take a drive up to JHB - we can go for a spin and while you have your license done I'll enjoy a coffee and a chocolate croissant at Fournos Bakery next door. I am up for that.! Edited June 25, 2013 by GrumpyOldGuy Caerus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted June 25, 2013 Share It's confirmed, I can go to the optician to renew, but not to get a new licence as I have to give an affidavit as the other one was stolen, and get a temporary licence as well. I shouldn't even be driving, doh. GrumpyOldGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted June 25, 2013 Share Hillstar has the quickest turnaround time. I have to renew my PDP every two years. They have the eye testing machines at Hillstar and your pics are taken by their machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't even be driving, doh. Go to cop shop where you reported loss. Get a case number and do the affidavit there. Take that with cash to Hillstar and apply for your new one. When I have to renew my PDP I first have to go Hillstar and get a form for medical. Once I bring that back to them application is processed, eyes tested , fingerprints are electrinically done, you pay a deposit at ABSA for you police clearance and then wait 2-3 weeks. I must do this every two years for work. A normal licence expires every 5 years. When I renew licence I have to apply for normal drivers as well and they take old licence.

You don't need a driver's licence up North all you need is a bribe for Metro cop when he pulls you over. Whats the going rate, a Streetwise Two price?
