The Road Safety Authority has introduced new regulations to extend driving licence and permit dates during the Covid-19 crisis.
While NDLS offices are closed, driver licenses and learner permits due to expire before 30 June 2020 will now be valid for a further four months.
The same extensions apply to certificates of competency – received on passing a driving test, driver theory test certificates, Motorcycle Initial Basic Training certificates and to National Car Tests and Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Tests.
The department has said this measure will ensure that people will not lose out due to the temporary closure of Road Safety Authority facilities, and will in particular help to keep vital health and supply chain workers on the roads.
