SAY GOODBYE TO CAR LICENCE DISCS AND DRIVING LICENCES
The Road Traffic Management Corporation of South Africa (RTMC) is planning to move away from physical vehicle licence discs towards an electronic disc regime relying on number plate recognition.
To combat this fraud, the RTMC said it was modernising its systems to move toward a “discless” environment with “gadgets” that can show vehicle registration details by scanning a number plate.
The RTMC would equip its traffic officers with these “e-force” gadgets, which will also be used for logging traffic fines, replacing the current physical ticket books.
It explained that the devices would be needed for the national rollout of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences system, set to begin on 1 July 2026.
The RTMC also intended to digitise the driving licence testing and acquisition process to crack down on the illegal sale of licences at DLTCs.
