Randburg has three City of Johannesburg facilities and they are not all in the same place. The motor vehicle registering authority is on Braam Fischer Drive. The driving licence testing centre and the vehicle testing station share a site on the corner of Hans Schoeman and Malibongwe Drive, in Malanshof.
One useful quirk: the Braam Fischer Drive office does driving licence renewals as well as vehicle work, so a renewal does not necessarily mean a trip to Malanshof.

Opening and operating hours
Weekday hours of 07:30 to 15:00 are reported for both sites, matching the City’s general licensing policy, but they are not stated on the City’s own published contact list. Treat them as a guide and confirm by phone, particularly if you are arriving late in the day, because queues close to new applicants well before the doors do.
Johannesburg licensing centres were disrupted through 2026 by shortages of licence stationery and printing supplies (Daily Maverick, 30 August 2026), so a call ahead is worth more than usual.
How hours and cut-offs usually work: traffic department operating hours. Weekend options: traffic departments open on Saturday.
Services available at this office
- Braam Fischer Drive: vehicle registration, licence disc renewals, driving licence renewals and traffic fine payments.
- Malanshof DLTC: learner’s licence tests and driving licence tests.
- Malanshof vehicle testing station: roadworthy testing and certificates, with weighbridge services also reported.
The split is unusual in that licence card renewals sit with the vehicle office rather than the testing centre. Tests go to Malanshof; almost everything else goes to Braam Fischer Drive.
Common transactions in Randburg: what to expect
- Renewing a driving licence card: at Braam Fischer Drive. Pass the eye test, have your fingerprints and photograph taken and pay. The card is produced centrally and collected later, so ask for a temporary licence if your card expires first. Full steps: traffic department licence renewal.
- Licence disc renewal: also Braam Fischer Drive, or online. Penalties apply after the 21-day grace period. See traffic department disc renewal.
- Learner’s licence test: at Malanshof. Bring your ID, proof of address and the LL1 form, and be ready for an eye test. See learner’s licence.
- Driving test: at Malanshof. You need a valid learner’s licence and a roadworthy vehicle of the right class. See K53 driving test.
- Roadworthy test: at the Malanshof testing station. See roadworthy certificate.
Booking and appointment information
In Gauteng, tests and licence card renewals are generally booked on NaTIS Online, and gov.za states that Gauteng residents must apply online for a learner’s licence. Book it yourself rather than through an agent: the province blocked third-party agent bookings.
How the booking system works, and what to do when there are no slots: traffic department online booking.
What to bring before you visit
- Your original ID document or smart ID card, or passport and permit for foreign nationals.
- Proof of residential address. See proof of address.
- Your booking confirmation, if the service was booked.
- The licence card, learner’s licence, renewal notice or vehicle document the transaction relates to.
- The completed application form. See traffic department forms.

Fees and payment information
Licensing fees are set by the province and the City and change from time to time, so confirm the amount and the accepted payment methods before you go. Ask for a receipt for every payment. How fees are structured: traffic department fees and traffic department prices.
How people search for Randburg licensing offices
Searches include Randburg licensing department, licensing department Randburg, license department Randburg, DLTC Randburg and Randburg traffic department. The names are used loosely: a driving licence testing centre handles learner’s and driving licences and tests, while a registering authority, often called the licensing department, handles licence discs and vehicle registration.
Randburg has both, plus a testing station, across two sites. The licensing department people usually mean is the Braam Fischer Drive office.
