People searching for Lichtenburg traffic department may need one of 2 offices: the Lichtenburg Traffic Station (traffic law enforcement office); the Ditsobotla Local Municipality Civic Centre (vehicle registration and licensing office). They are run by Ditsobotla Local Municipality, North West Department of Community Safety and Transport Management (provincial) in North West, 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something, or its page could not be checked, this page says so rather than repeating directory listings that are often out of date.
