People searching for Alberton traffic department may need one of 2 offices: the Alberton Licensing Centre (MVRA + DLTC), Alrode (traffic and licensing office); the EMPD Alberton (Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department building) (traffic law enforcement office). They are run by City of Ekurhuleni / Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD), Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) in Gauteng, and they do not all offer the same services, so check which one handles your task before you go.
Only details confirmed on an official source are shown. Where the authority does not publish something, or its page could not be checked, this page says so rather than repeating directory listings that are often out of date.
