Note: After 31 October 2015 the traffic department will not process renewals or applications for licence discs or drivers licences unless the person completed the details and address confirmation beforehand or do it together with the application or renewal.
The notice at the traffic department should rather read: Owners whose address particulars have not been verified by 31 October 2015, will not be issued with a motor vehicle licence unless the verification process is completed with the renewal.
There may be a cut off date later in the future, before which, the proof of address needs to be completed. Further details on the possible cut off date will be published when confirmed.
The confusion on the deadline of the implementation of regulation 32A governing the verification of address particulars on the eNaTIS system in the media and at some government departments seem to be mainly as a result of misinterpretation of poorly worded notices, press releases and even the regulation itself.
The regulation was published on 1 November 2014 and will become affective on 1 November 2015. The regulation requires any person who is registered on the eNaTIS or who wishes to make use of the eNaTIS services to, after a period of 12 months from the date of publication of the regulation in the government gazette, submit proof of their full names, identity number, residential and postal address. The system is similar to RICA in telecommunications and FICA in banking.
