Replace lost or stolen driving licence

 If your driving licence card is lost, stolen or damaged, you can apply for a new one.


You will have to apply for a temporary driving licence at an additional cost while waiting for your driving licence card to be issued.


To get a replacement card, you will not be required to take a driving licence examination, but you will undergo eye testing and your fingerprints will be taken. Alternatively, you can have your eyes tested by an optometrist and submit the form at the driving license testing centre (DLTC)


What you should do


Go to the nearest DLTC with:

Your identity document (ID) and a copy of the ID or a valid South African passport and copy.

Proof of postal and residential address e.g. utility account. If the utility bill is not in your name, the owner of the bill must make an affidavit declaring that you live at the address and the utility bill must be attached to the affidavit. 

If you stay at an informal settlement, you must bring a letter with an official date stamp from the ward councillor confirming your postal and residential address.

Four identical black-and-white photographs. You must first confirm with the DLTC how many photos they require before you have photos taken.


How long does it take


Your new driving licence should be ready within four to six weeks.

A temporary driving licence is issued immediately.
