Lost and duplicate documents in Cape Town
Driving without a valid disc in the windscreen can get you fined, and you cannot sell a vehicle without its registration certificate. If yours has been lost, stolen or damaged, we apply for the duplicate for you.
When you need this
- Your licence disc has been lost, stolen or damaged
- You cannot find the vehicle’s registration certificate
- You are selling the vehicle and the papers are missing

Questions about lost / duplicate documents
Not easily. The buyer needs it to register the vehicle in their name, so apply for the duplicate first and the sale is not held up.
No. You need a duplicate disc, not a new licence. The licence itself is still valid until its expiry date.
