Traffic Department

GOVERNMENT FEES & WHAT TO BRING

๐Ÿ’ก
Don't get caught off guard at the department!
Many students arrive unprepared and end up paying more or wasting the whole day. Fish Driving Academy accompanies you, guides you through every step, and makes sure you bring exactly what's needed โ€” so nothing goes wrong on the day.

๐Ÿ“„ Learner's Licence Fees

Application / confirmation feeR108.00
Eye test (free at dept, or optometrist)Free โ€“ R100
Issuing out learner's licenceR60.00
Estimated TotalR168 โ€“ R268

* Eye test can be done free at the DLTC on the day, saving you R100. We advise on the best option for your situation.

๐Ÿ’ณ Driving Licence Fees

Confirmation / booking feeR240.00
Eye test certificate (or free at dept)Free โ€“ R100
Issuing out drivers licence cardR228.00
Estimated TotalR468 โ€“ R568

* Fees payable directly to the traffic department. Fish Driving Academy does not collect these fees on behalf of the government.

๐Ÿš› PrDP (Professional Driving Permit)

Booking / application feeR108 โ€“ R300
Issue feeR90 โ€“ R216
Estimated TotalR200 โ€“ R500

* Required for Code 10 and Code 14 drivers transporting passengers or dangerous goods professionally. We guide you through the full PrDP application process.

๐ŸŽ’ What to Bring on the Day

Missing any one of these can mean your whole trip is wasted. We help you prepare a checklist before your department visit.

๐Ÿ“ธ
ID Photos โ€” R60 to R100
Most DLTCs require 2โ€“4 black-and-white ID photos. Don't rely on the "camera guy" outside โ€” he charges a premium. Get them printed cheaply at a pharmacy beforehand.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ
Eye Test โ€” Free or R100
The DLTC does a basic eye test for free. If you prefer a proper certificate (e.g. from Spec-Savers), it costs around R100 but can save hours of queuing inside.
๐Ÿฉบ
Medical Certificate โ€” R300 to R600 PrDP Only
Required for Professional Driving Permit applicants. A registered doctor must certify that you are medically fit to drive professionally. Budget R300โ€“R600 for this.
๐Ÿ–๏ธ
Police Clearance / Fingerprints
Usually included in the department's application fee (approx. R108 application + R216 authorisation). No separate visit needed in most cases โ€” but we confirm this with you beforehand.

๐Ÿค We Handle It All For You

Fish Driving Academy accompanies clients directly to the traffic department. We know exactly what documents are needed, which queues to join, and how to avoid common mistakes that cost students time and money.

We make sure you arrive prepared, confident, and ready to pass.

๐Ÿ“… Book & Let Us Guide You

โš ๏ธ All government fees are subject to change. The figures above are current estimates. Fish Driving Academy will confirm the exact amounts applicable to your licence type before your department visit.
