Description
All motor vehicles operating on public roads should have their
licence renewed annually. It is the responsibility of the vehicle
owner to ensure that the vehicle licence is renewed. Failure to
renew the motor vehicle licence will result in penalties.
There is a 21-day grace period for owners who have not renewed
their expired motor vehicle licences. The grace period is
calculated from the expiry date of the current licence disc.
Licence renewal must be done at the registering authority where the
vehicle is licenced.
