In South Africa, you are allowed to renew your vehicle license up to 21 days after the expiry date without incurring any penalties or fines. If you renew your license after the 21-day grace period has elapsed, you will be charged a penalty fee which increases the longer you delay. If you continue to drive your vehicle with an expired license, you may be fined by traffic officers if caught, and you could even face legal action. Therefore, it’s essential to renew your license on time to avoid any unnecessary costs or legal complications.
