Payment is done safely and securely through Masterpass, which the user can download from the Google Play Store for Android devices and the Apple App Store for Apple devices.
“The renewal service at selected post office branches remains available. Customers who renew a vehicle licence at a post office branch pay the licence renewal fee and leave with the new disc immediately.
“The post office also offers bulk motor vehicle licence renewal for fleet operators and businesses. This entails the collection of all necessary documentation from company premises, taking them back to the post office for processing, printing of the discs and delivery back to the offices of the customer,” said Kruger.

The SA Post Office (Sapo) has encouraged motorists who live in remote areas or lead busy lives to make use of its online platform to renew their car licences.
The online platform for renewing car licences was launched earlier this year, and more than 58,000 motorists have already used it to renew their licences.
The Western Cape is the only province where the service is unavailable.
Renewal can be done at any time on any device
Sapo spokesperson Johan Kruger said transactions on the licence renewal platform can be done at any time on any device.
“You can complete the transaction 24/7 from any online device. It also saves you money, there is no charge if you collect the new licence from a nearby post office, and only R75 for delivery to your address,” the post office said.
