Please consider ONLINE RENEWAL of vehicle licenses as per details below instead of in-person renewals at the vehicle licencing centre as Covid-19 regulations significantly impacts on the amount of people that can be served in a day.

Bulk transactions are being handled at a separate venue. Pregnant women, the elderly and disabled can pre-arrange preferential treatment by calling 044 801 9310.

While vehicle licence RENEWALS CAN be done online, the REGISTRATION of vehicles CANNOT be done online as RICA requirements stipulate that the owner of the vehicle must physically appear in front of the official and the documentation must be original – this is, among other things, a measure against fraudulent registration of vehicles.

ONLINE ELECTRONIC PAYMENT OF VEHICLE LICENCE RENEWALS
Two important steps to ensure the Online Process runs smoothly:

  1. You MUST use your vehicle license number as a reference when making the payment for example: CAW ###### / Private number ##### WP
  2. The second important step is that when you send your emailed Proof of Payment – PLEASE do so to payments@george.gov.za and mvr@george.gov.za AND please use your CAW ###### / Private number ##### WP as the SUBJECT line of your EMAIL (Do not use the abbreviation POP for Proof of Payment or the words “Proof of Payment”  in the subject line as it triggers a SPAM warning which deflects your email and is then not received). Do not send your proof of payment email to an individual’s email address – use the two formal email addresses given only.

George Municipal Online Vehicle Renewal process:
1. Start by registering a profile online at https://online.natis.gov.za/#/ or download the RTMC mobile application for Android from Google PlayStore.

  2. Go to the ‘View motor vehicle renewals’ section and verify the information of the vehicle for which you are renewing the licence.
  3. Access and/or download your electronic motor vehicle license RENEWAL NOTICE (also known as a MVL2 notice).
  4. If your licence disk is valid but near expiry or if it has expired but is still in the 21-day grace period after expiry, the amount for the renewal of your vehicle will be on the notice.
  5. If your license has already expired beyond the grace period, it will not indicate an amount on the system and clients must please phone the George Motor Vehicle Licensing office at 044 801 9310 to confirm the amount due.
  6. Pay the amount due into the George Municipality, FNB Public Sector Cheque Account, Number 62869623150 (Branch Code 210554). Use the relevant vehicle license number as a reference such as CAW ###### / Private number ##### WP.
  7. Email the proof of payment to payments@george.gov.za and mvr@george.gov.za Please use your CAW ###### / Private number ##### WP as the SUBJECT line of your EMAIL (Using POP for Proof of Payment triggers a SPAM warning and your email is deflected and not received). Please note the aforementioned email addresses are no-reply addresses and are set up for proof of payments only and cannot be used for enquiries. Please phone 044 801 9310 for enquiries.
  8. Once payment reflects on the municipality’s bank statement, the vehicle license will be processed, and you will be contacted to arrange collection. Please do not collect unless pre-arranged and notified via telephone – you won’t have to queue in the transaction lines when you collect.
