The City of Cape Town’s Traffic Service is experiencing longer queues at its Driving Licence Testing Centres (DLTCs).

This is largely due to the fact that the national extension for driving licences and public driving permits that expired between 26 March 2020 and December 2020, expires on 31 August.

As a result, the DLTCs have started seeing increased footfall, resulting in longer queues.

To address this issue, the City will extend operating hours at 15 DLTCs for the rest of August to assist as many clients as possible.

The following centres will operate from 08:00 – 16:30 on Mondays to Saturdays, and 08:00 – 15:00 on Sundays:

Atlantis, Bellrail, Brackenfell, Durbanville, Eastridge, Elsies River, Fish Hoek, Gallows Hill, Hillstar, Joe Gqabi, Lingelethu West, Milnerton, New Ottery, Parow and Somerset West.

Covid-19 safety protocols have to be implemented at all facilities which limits the number of people allowed inside the facility at any given time.
