Plumstead Traffic Department is a motor vehicle registration office located in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. The physical address is 3 Victoria Road, Plumstead, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. The department is situated in the same shopping complex as Checkers and Spur, on the Main Road and opposite Ocean Basket[1][5].
Services offered at the Plumstead Traffic Department include car licensing, lost registration papers, change of ownership, police clearances, traffic fines, and applications for traffic register certificates. It is a popular office for car dealers, and queues can be long, though seating is available and there are typically three to four tellers operating. There are separate queues for car license renewals and for registration or other services. Note that driver’s licenses cannot be renewed at this office[1].
Forms for change of ownership (green form), license applications, and registration (blue form) are available at the entrance. There is no dedicated help desk, but regular visitors, such as dealership staff, are often willing to assist newcomers[1].
Operating hours are generally Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, and the centre is open on weekdays and Saturdays, although these hours may change without prior notice[3][5].
