People searching for Klerksdorp traffic department may need one of 2 offices: the Klerksdorp Driving Licence Testing Centre (DLTC) / Licensing Department (traffic and licensing office); the Klerksdorp Traffic Station (Provincial) (traffic law enforcement office). They are run by City of Matlosana Local Municipality, North West Department of Community Safety and Transport Management (DCSTM) in North West, and they do not all offer the same services, so check which one handles your task before you go.
