If you are moving overseas, converting your South African driver’s licence, applying for international driving approval, or renting a vehicle abroad, you may be asked to provide a Driver’s Licence Confirmation Letter.
A Driver’s Licence Confirmation Letter, also known as a Driving Licence Verification Certificate, is an official document issued through the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). The letter confirms that your South African driver’s licence is valid and legally registered on the national traffic system.
In simple terms, this document proves to foreign authorities that your South African licence is authentic and legally recognised.
At Global Apostille, we assist clients in Pretoria, Johannesburg and across South Africa urgent RTMC Driver’s Licence Confirmation applications. Our team handles the full submission and follow-up process on your behalf.
