Hi all,

Can a foreigner take the driving test in South Africa?

What are the formalities to get a driver聮s licence in South Africa?

Do you need special or extra documents being an 暗网禁区riate?

How much does it cost?

Thanks!!

Yes you can get a licence and yes you do need extra documents.

If you need to buy a car or apply for a licence the first step is a traffic register number. You will apply for at most traffic departments(Randburg is fairly pain free). You will need to take a valid residence / work/ spouse visa ( take along a copy).2 passport photos.Proof of address. That should be enough. Fill in the form and return about 4 working days later to collect.

We hae just done it for my husband to buy a car, as he is on a spouse permit they wanted a copy of my ID ( I needed to go with).They also asked for a copy of his foreign and international driving permit.

Once you have this I understand you can book for a licence.
