As a motorist, if you have outstanding vehicle license fees, it means there are some pending licensing fees that you suppose to pay for but have not done so. In other words, you owe the licensing office and are yet to clear the debt.<\/p>\n There are several reasons motorists end up having some outstanding fees to their name in the licensing office. Some of them include failure to comply with any direction or instruction issued by a licence officer, using a driver’s licence that contradicts the provisions of the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) Act, driving with an expired license, and failure to pay for the penalty for an expired license.<\/p>\n First and foremost, you can always get to find out how much your outstanding licence fees have amounted to at any time. Yes, once your vehicle is registered, and your data is available at the office, you can always go there to make inquiries and do other things.<\/p>\n After a thorough search, we couldn’t find any online platform where motorists can precisely find out about their outstanding vehicle license fees. Nonetheless, there is a way out. The city of Cape Town, for instance, allows motorists in the city to renew their driver’s licence online through the eServices portal<\/a>. If you are in or around the city, you can see if there is a provision made for checking outstanding vehicle license fees.<\/p>\n If there is an available option for it, then go ahead and provide the requirements. Remember, you need to have at least a valid ID. As stipulated by Cape Town, you need to register on the platform first and then have the following handy to access the eServices portal:<\/p>\n Secondly, there are many online platforms where motorists renew their vehicle licences and do other things. You can find your way to their website and see if you can find out about your outstanding vehicle licence fees. These online platforms are Easy Renew, First National Bank, Motor Hero, as well as Renew.<\/p>\n If the methods above didn’t work out, you might have to visit the nearest post office to have one-on-one contact with the concerned licensing officer. Remember, there are some retail stores (apart from the post office) where you can renew and sort out other vehicle licensing issues. Services at these stores are made possible by Renewonline, an online renewal portal. The stores include selected Spar stores, Safari Outdoor stores, PostNet outlets, and Pick ‘n Pay branches.<\/p>\n One thing that is certain is that there is a penalty for leaving your outstanding vehicle fees unpaid. Unfortunately, we can’t tell the exact amount that the penalty charges accrue every month. You will get to find out if you visit the licencing office.<\/p>\n In the case of an expired license disc, motorists are given a 21-day grace period, which starts from the expiry date of their current licence disc. A late renewal penalty applies after the 21 days, and the penalty fee is calculated at 1\/10th of the yearly licencing fee per month that the licence remains unpaid.<\/p>\n In South Africa, license fees vary according to the weight of the vehicle, and from province to province. In Gauteng, the total annual license fee for a car of 1 000 kilograms, but not exceeding 1 250 kilograms, costs motorists R432.00 while a large SUV owner whose vehicle weighs in at 2 500 kg but not exceeding 2 750 kg, will fork out R1 416.00 for licence fee.<\/p>\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/license-1-e1632239546215.jpg\")
