Applicants outside the borders of the RSA whose driving licence cards have expired or were lost/stolen and who are not in a position to return to the RSA to have the licence renewed:
The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) is in a position to issue a confirmation letter should such an applicant have a valid licence (this will be established on the eNaTIS).
The letter will serve as proof that the applicant does indeed hold a valid licence and this will enable him/her to convert the licence to a foreign driving licence in the country in which he/she currently resides.
Please note that such a confirmation letter cannot be interpreted as a driving licence when presented to a law enforcement official.
Applicants requiring confirmation letters are requested to include their RSA ID number and postal address (to which the letter will be mailed) with their application.
