What kind of a question is this?

A car/bike/bus/taxi, A valid license if you are driving, a passport if you want to actually cross the border...

How is this not painfully obvious?!

You need car registration papers, letter of confirmation from your insurance that you are permitted to take the car out of RSA, also from your financial institution if still financed, your passport and drivers license.

I think you may need to take copy of reg papers for the car... just in case

I drive there quite often. Never needed car papers or letter of permission from my insurance. (just tell you insurance to be safe)

You will have to pay a 'road tax' when you cross over. Think its R50.

Crossing is really easy. One VERY important thing. If they say 'are you going over for work?' make sure you have a work permit before saying yes. We went over for a workshop and got arrested when leaving the country for 'working illegally'. Had to pay a R3000 fine.

think ill just get an Affidavit just to be on the safe side, wonder where my mum put the car license.

That is incorrect, so I would sit yourself back in the corner.

 

[alanlesley]

if my mum is register name on the car license, i should get an Affidavit just to be safe?

Few important notes.

1. DO NOT speed in swaziland. Tickets are payable on the spot and if you don;t they will haul you away.
2. On the SA side, once you turn off the main highway and start going through the more picturesque country side, be very aware of the speed limitation. There is an 80 zone near some logging sites that the cops love to sit at.

[alanlesley]

is the car license disk, the car license? also do i need to go to a police station to get the affidavit or can i get it signed by a commissioner of oaths?

 

[alanlesley]

does anyone know if i can get it signed at a commissioner of oaths or if i need to get the cops to go to my mums hospital to get it signed?
