How to Get Vehicle Licence Renewal Notifications – NATIS Online (South Africa)

By | July 19, 2025

Since October 1, 2020, vehicle owners in South Africa receive their Motor Vehicle Licence Renewal (MVL2) notifications via SMS or email. The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) no longer sends these renewal notices by post.


What to Do If You Don’t Receive Your Renewal Notification

If you haven’t received your MVL2 renewal notice electronically, you can download it directly from the official NaTIS website:

  • Visit: online.natis.gov.za
  • Or use the RTMC Android Mobile App available for download on the Google Play Store.

How to Keep Your Contact Details Up to Date

To make sure you receive renewal notifications on time:

  • Update your mobile phone number and email address on the NaTIS system.
  • You can do this by:
    • Visiting your nearest traffic office
    • Registering or updating your profile on the NaTIS website
    • Using the RTMC Android Mobile App
