Driving licenses and permits that expired during the Covid-19 lockdown – between 26 March and 31 May – will still be deemed valid and the period will be extended with 90 days from 1 June.

This is according to the Road Traffic Management Corporation.

The documents include:

• Driver’s licenses
• Learner’s licenses
• License discs
• Temporary permits
• Roadworthy certificates
• PDPs (professional driving permits)

This as the corporation says driving license testing centres, registering authorities, vehicle testing stations and driving schools will resume their services from 1 June.

The resumption of services in the various centres will be subject to adherence to hygiene practice, social distancing and sanitising measures.

“No person will be allowed to enter a driving license testing centre, registering authority, vehicle testing station or driving school without a face mask, or a homemade mask that covers the nose and mouth,” says the corporation.
