On a Thursday
The system in the background will have slots available for PRIORITY renewal of Driving Licence Cards and PrDP Applications.
What is a Priority slot?
A priority slot is for a person whose Driving Licence or PrDP has already expired.
How will the system know that I am a priority?
When you enter your Identity number, the system checks if your Driving Licence or PrDP has already expired, if so, then you will see a priority slot (if such a slot is available)
If my Driving Licence or PrDP has expired and there are no priority slots available, what then?
The system will then show you slots that all other applicants will see, whose Driving Licence or PrDP has not yet expired.
On a Friday
** Please note that Merafong, Mogale City and Sedibeng DLTCs will open Learner’s Licence Test Slots and Driving Licence Test Slots daily
** If you managed to make a booking for Driving Licence or Learner’s Licence Test then you must confirm and pay for your booking within 3 days
** Failure to pay for the booking within 3 days will result in automatic cancellation of the booking and the slot will be available to the next applicant.
** Slots will be released to the public between 09h00 and 18h00 daily

Some Important Information From Comments
Error / Problem:
1. This online application is a disaster now, the app is not working. I have been trying to book but no slots available and the application is not responding at all. So frustrated.
2. My son is applying for a Learners License online. After entering his ID number correctly, on the next page, the following message appears:
Message: The entered identification is not indicated on the system as the current identification
Rule: More than one identification number can be used but the current identification number will appear on cards and certificates.
I have double checked and am 100% sure that his ID number is correct. Please advise what the problem is.
