The Plumstead Traffic Department, also known as the Plumstead Motor Vehicle Registration Centre, serves as a Motor Vehicle Registration office for the City of Cape Town. It is located at 3 Victoria Road, Plumstead, in the same shopping complex as Checkers and Spur, opposite Ocean Basket[1][5].
Services offered at Plumstead Traffic Department include:
- Car licensing
- Lost registration papers
- Change of ownership
- Police clearances
- Settlement of traffic fines
- Application for traffic register certificates
This office primarily handles motor vehicle registrations and car licence renewals. However, driver’s licences cannot be renewed at this centre[1].
Legal documents such as change of ownership forms, licence forms (Green Form), and registration forms (Blue Form) are available at the entrance, eliminating the need to queue just to collect them. Separate queues are maintained for car licence renewals and for registrations/other services. The centre is popular with car dealers, so queues are often long, but there is decent seating and usually 3 to 4 tellers in operation[1].
Operating hours may change without prior notice. Standard hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 3:30pm[3].
If the queues are too long at Plumstead, the Wynberg Traffic Department is located nearby and may offer shorter wait times[1].
