The Mitchells Plain community will soon benefit from a R4 million upgrade to the Eastridge Driving Licence Testing Centre. The existing temporary prefab unit which is currently being utilised for learner licence tests will be replaced.
The new centre will include the following facilities:
- Appointments for learner license tests and practical driving licence tests (light motor vehicle only)
- Applications for professional driving permits
- Applications for the exchange or conversion of foreign driving licences
- Applications for driving licence card renewals
The contractor will be moving onto the site this week to commence work and the project is due for completion by April 2012.
Unfortunately, appointments for learner licence tests will be affected during the construction period and applicants are requested to please use any of the City’s 17 other Driving Licence Testing Centres.
Traffic Services manages 18 Driving Licence Testing Centres across the city. Residents can visit the City’s Licencing and Motor Vehicle Registration (MVR) website by clicking here to find useful information for motorists and businesses with vehicles registered by the City. The site features a list of MVR offices, a handy ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ section, and an online vehicle licence payment facility.
