At the age of 16 years or older, you may obtain a code 1 learners licence which will allow you to drive only
- a motor cycle type vehicle with a maximum engine capacity of 125 cc
- a moped where pedals are available to assist the engine or motor
If you are the holder of a valid code 1 learners licence and 18 years old or older, you may drive a motor cycle type vehicle with any engine capacity.
At the age of 17 years or older you may obtain a code 2 learners licence which will allow you to drive any motor vehicle excluding
- motor cycle type vehicles
- any motor vehicle of which the tare exceeds 3 500 kg
- a bus or goods vehicle of which the gross vehicle mass exceeds 3 500 kg
- an articulated motor vehicle of which the gross combination mass exceeds 3 500 kg
At the age of 18 years or older you may apply for a code 3 learners licence which allows the driving of any motor vehicle excluding motor cycle type vehicles.
Once you have obtained a learners licence, you may drive the type of vehicle for which the learners licence is valid. However, you must be accompanied by a driver licensed for the specific vehicle, except in the case of a motor cycle because a learner driver may not transport another person on a motor cycle.
You may be allowed to prebook a learners licence test spot at a call centre. Note that this is not the application, only courtesy to fit your diary. You must apply for a learners licence in person at a driving licence testing centre. You must submit the following:
- duly completed form LL1
- Two identical black and white or colour driving licence type photographs of yourself
The driving licence testing centre will provide you with a date and time on which you will be allowed to complete the learners licence test. You may apply before the qualifying age (see above), but at the time of the of the scheduled learners licence test, you have to be old enough in order to be issued with the learners licence. The learners licence test is a written test to verify your knowledge of the rules of the road, road traffic signs and the controls of a motor vehicle.
If you have passed the test, an issue fee is required to issue the learners licence certificate. One of your photos and your signature will be attached to the certificate and this should be covered with security tape.
You must hold a valid learners licence to be tested for the issuing of a driving licence, i.e. the learners licence must still be valid on the driving licence test appointment date. The learners licence remains valid for its full period unless cancelled by a court order. You may thus, for example, hold a learners licence and if you fail a (practical) driving licence test, be tested again within the period of validity of the learners licence.
Before applying for a driving licence, you must have a learners licence. You must be over the age of 18 before you can apply for a driving licence for a motor vehicle and over the age of 16 to apply for a licence to operate a motor cycle (with an engine capacity of up to 125 cc). When applying for a driving licence you are required to complete form DL1 and indicate which type of vehicle you would like to drive. This form must be submitted together with the following:
Your ID document Any existing driving licences Four identical black and white photographs of yourself The required fee
Your fingerprints will be taken, and you will be required to undergo an eye test. After your application has been processed, the driving licence testing centre will provide you with a date and time for your driving test. On the day of the test you will be tested according to the K53 testing standard. You will be tested to ensure that you know and understand the road traffic signs, have a sound knowledge of the rules of the road and the different signals which a driver of a vehicle is required to give when driving on a public road and are generally capable of driving the type of vehicle specified on the application. If you pass the driving licence test, you will be issued with a temporary driving licence while your credit-card-format driving licence is produced. The driving licence testing centre will notify you via post when your licence is ready for collection. You need to produce your ID document when you collect the licence card. Licences not collected within 120 days are destroyed.

Demzyportal Category: Ask Demzyportal
I went for the renewal of my driver’s license on 26 July 2021, when I enquire on 6 October 2021 i was told that I have left no fingerprints and have to “redo” the fingerprints. Another picture was taken and a form completed by the official at the Boksburg office. I went earlier today 2 November 2021 to enquire after the issuing of the license, but without success. My old license has already expired and I was not issued with a temporary license. When can i expect my license to be reniewed.
