Strike delays issuing of Drivers’ Licences
City of Johannesburg Licensing Centres will be issuing temporary licences
Due to labour unrest at the Driving License Card Account (DLCA) offices, applicants should expect delays in receiving their driving licence cards.
Apparently, the disputes at DLCA having been ongoing since 20 July, and remain unresolved. This may affect applications for driving licences and lead to delays in them being issued.
DLCA is a national government department responsible for the printing of all driving licence cards for both provincial and municipal licensing centres.

In order to resolve the problem on a temporary basis, City of Johannesburg Licensing Centres will be issuing temporary licences to new applicants as well as renewals of drivers’ licenses. These will be valid for six months and can be renewed in the event that the issues at DLCA are still unresolved at the time of their expiry.
Public Safety MMC, Michael Sun, said, “We are concerned about the unresolved and ongoing labour unrest at the DLCA as it has seriously impacted our service delivery to the residents of Johannesburg. We will be engaging with the Department of Transport and will ensure that the temporary solution will bring minimal inconvenience to our customers”.
All other services available at the City’s Licensing Centres remain unaffected.
