City of Cape Town Traffic Services has noted a major influx of residents visiting the City’s Driving Licence Testing Centres (DLTCs), due to the legislative five-year renewal period for driving licence cards, resulting in long queues.
The City would like to try and disperse the demand, to alleviate the pressure, and ensure that customers are assisted as quickly as possible.
There has been a greater demand at certain DLTCs, while others are quieter and the City suggests that members of the public visit another DLTC if they notice that their local DLTC is busy.
The following DLTCs have proved to be the busiest centres:
- Parow
- Goodwood
- Gallows Hill
- Hillstar
- Bellrail
- Joe Gqabi
There has been a lower demand at the following DLTCs, which offer card renewals and process applications for driving licences:
- Eastridge
- Fish Hoek
- Milnerton
- Gordon’s Bay
- Kuils River
- Elsies River
- Brackenfell
- Durbanville
Where residents in the busier areas are able, they should visit their nearest alternative DLTC.
In addition, there is a higher demand for services on a Saturday, thus placing additional strain on the City’s DLTCs. Staff have been working overtime to try and accommodate the demand, but where possible, residents are requested to consider visiting DLTCs during the week rather than on a Saturday.
All DLTCs are open from 08:00 – 15:30, Monday to Friday and from 08:00 – 12:00 on Saturdays.
Any enquiries can be directed to the Management Representative at any DLTC in the city. The contact details of the Management Representatives stationed at the respective centres in Cape Town are as follows:
