HOW DO I MANUALLY FIND MY DRIVERS LICENSE NUMBER DRIVERS
Your request must include your contact details (including fax number), a copy of your ID and a copy of your drivers licence. Request the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) (in writing) for a printout and Confirmation Letter of your drivers licence. Some countries may not accept South African drivers' licences as valid licences and it may be prudent to apply for an international drivers licence from the Automobile Association before departure from South Africa. It is therefore advisable to apply for a printout and Confirmation Letter of one's drivers licence from the Road Traffic Management Corporation prior to travelling or whilst abroad if you are planning to hire a vehicle. This is due to the fact that South African (CCF) drivers' licences only indicate the date of issue of the specific licence, but not when the holder first qualified as a driver. It might prove difficult to rent a vehicle when abroad and if successful, the insurance premiums may be high. The licence contained in an identity document may only be converted and may not be used to drive with during this six (6) month period. Please note application must be made within six (6) months of date of return. However, if a South African driving licence holder can supply proof (passport) that he/she was abroad during the conversion period, the increased penalty fee will not be levied. It is not (currently) possible to apply for the CCF licence from abroad, as the issuing of a CCF licence is dependent on an eye test and biometric verification. In the case of private motorists, the conversion period was 5 years with a penalty fee for late conversion.
