As we all know the system is broken and one massive mess.

Is it worth it to open an FNB account just for this? Maybe a saving account or something?

My wife banks with FNB but my mom does not.

Can you only register your own vehicle in your name or can I also add my mom's car to it?
 
It's probably only vehicles registered in your name because I think FNB supplies the required documentation for license renewal on your behalf and also you need to take account FNB charge R150 fee.

Something to note is that many licensing offices push elderly people to the front of the queue if they arrive early enough.

Our municipality is a mess. It is Zululand afterall.

I don't mind paying extra. Still less than what my time is worth. So maybe my mom must open a savings account with FNB then.

Don't wait for the last minute because FNB takes at least a week to process the renewal and their system goes down from time to time due to the demand.

My father did that and had to go to the renewal office, he has a bad leg so went to licensing office with his crutches just in case. That got him bumped up to the very front of the line. He did however have to wait around 30 minutes for the offices to open.
 
tried FNB last week and service “wasn’t available” ended up going to do it the old fashioned way.
 
I've renewed 2 vehicle licences in the last 2 months through the FNB app and it works pretty well. It did take about a month for each vehicle from the time I applied for the renewals.

If not a Cape Town person, where the post office does not do it, why not download the notification that would normally be mailed to you from https://online.natis.gov.za/#/E1D2 and print it (make sure to do it double sided) and then go renew it at the post office?

That's what I did last month with 3 vehicles.

Thanks! Will give it a try and see if the post office will accept it.
 
Yep, it was quick at the post office. Took me 10 minutes over the weekend.

I have both my car and my wife's uploaded on my profile and I can renew both on the site. I haven't tried though. I see now that you can only renew 45 days before your expiry date. I might do mine when it expires next month will just go check if there are lines before the time.

They charge R199.

That's why I pointed out to print it double sided, at first I was not successful with single sided.

Does this mean I can do it a week or two in advance of licence expiring and still get my disc in time, or at least before the 21 days grace period is over?

No I did my wife's car this way as well.
You can add pretty much any vehicle to the system. When you request a renewal you have to send ID and proof of address through - just send the relevant ones.

Yeah, the app takes into consideration the waiting period when it recommends when you renew.
