What to take along

Applicants must take along the following items:

• Proof of test booking (appointment) from the Natis website.  Be sure to print out your booking or take a screenshot.

• Two (2) recent black and white ID photos.
  
  
• Proof of residential address by submitting any utility, clothing, cell phone or telephone account not older than three (3) months.  In the case where the applicant is not the person in whose name the utility account is issued, the person in whose name the utility account is issued must make an affidavit at a police station, declaring that the applicant resides at such address, which must accompany the proof of residential address document.
  
  

  If a person resides at an informal settlement or in a rural area, a letter with an official date stamp from the ward councillor or local tribal authority confirming the postal and residential address of such person and or an affidavit confirming proof of residential address must be submitted.
  
  

• R108-00 application (booking) fee, payable to the testing station by debit/credit card to reserve a test date.  Also take the amount in cash, in the event that their card machines are offline.
  This is the current fee applicable in the Gauteng province.
  
  N.B. Remember that your test date is not booked (confirmed) unless you've paid the fee at the cashier and received a printed proof of payment with your test date and time on.
  
  

• Black pen to fill out the blue learner’s license application form (LL1), obtainable at the testing station.  This might not be applicable if you booked online.
  
  
• Spectacles (if applicable) for the eye test.  It is advisable to obtain an Eye Screening Certificate from an optometrist and take that along to the testing station, as most testing stations do not currently perform eye tests on site.
