Gauteng Accelerates Smart DLTC Rollout, With Umphakathi Site Next

Officials frame the upgrade as a road-safety measure rooted in cleaner, faster licensing.

Overview

  • The province confirmed an accelerated expansion of Smart Driver Licence Testing Centres under the Smart Mobility Plan, with sites active in Atteridgeville, Denlyn, Maponya Mall, Centurion, Protea Glen and Midrand.
  • Smart DLTCs are fully integrated with eNaTIS and operate as full-service hubs handling vehicle licence renewals, driving licence applications and renewals.
  • Centres offer online, cashless transactions with smart enrolment and appointment-only bookings, and licence renewals are processed in about 10 minutes.
  • Facilities run Monday to Saturday and are being placed in townships, informal settlements and hostels to cut travel and ease congestion at traditional licensing offices.
  • Anti-corruption measures include eliminating runners and law-enforcement oversight, with the department linking cleaner licensing to road-safety goals and reporting local job creation largely for women.
