Major milestone reached with Motherwell Driving License Testing Centre opening
Published: March 22, 2022<< BACK TO NEWS
When the first transactions are processed at the Motherwell
Driving License Testing Centre tomorrow (Wednesday, 23 March), a major
milestone in the municipality’s plan to improve traffic services will be
achieved.
This facility, based in the same building as the Motherwell
Customer Care Centre, will now be able to equal the number of transactions that
both the existing Driving License Testing Centres (Kariega and Gqeberha) manage
in a day.
Warren Prins, Director: Traffic and Licensing, said when
residents from all over Nelson Mandela Bay make use of the new facility, the
number of changes that he made since becoming the head of traffic and licensing
will translate to an improved experience for clients.
"This is not only one of the biggest facilities in the Eastern
Cape, it is also centrally based close to the Motherwell Shopping Centre with
ample parking and access for residents from all corners of Nelson Mandela Bay.
"We became the first region in the Eastern Cape, second only
to the Gauteng Province to introduce the online booking system for clients and
managed to sidestep the pitfalls others experienced with this system.
"Clients can also pay with their debit cards at the traffic
department, making it unnecessary for those going to our facilities to carry large
sums of money.
"We already received online bookings for the Motherwell DLTC
after registering it on the natis online portal (www.natis.gov.za) last week.
"When the doors open tomorrow at 8am, we will be processing
driver’s license renewals, professional driving permits (PrDP), learner’s
license and all temporary license applications.
"Driver’s license tests will be delayed for two weeks due to
the online booking system recently being opened,” Warren Prins said.
