Witbank Licence Department Contact Details

Licensing services in Witbank fall under eMalahleni Local Municipality, the municipality that Witbank was renamed within. The municipality does not publish a direct number for its licensing department, so the switchboard is the route: call 013 690 6222 and ask for licensing, or email info@emalahleni.gov.za.

Where the eMalahleni licensing offices are and their hours

The municipal offices are at the Civic Centre, Mandela Street, eMalahleni, 1035. Office hours are Monday to Thursday from 07:30 to 16:30 and Friday from 07:30 to 13:30, and the offices are closed on weekends and public holidays. The short Friday matters for licensing in particular, because renewals and testing bookings are counter services that close with the building.

Licensing services you have to attend in person

Driving licence and motor vehicle licensing are counter services carried out at the municipal licensing offices rather than by telephone, so you will normally have to attend in person with your identity document and the relevant forms. The municipality publishes no online booking system for licensing on its website, and its published service numbers cover faults rather than licensing: electricity on 013 690 6333, water and sanitation on 013 690 6444, and accounts and billing by email. Use the switchboard and ask to be routed to the licensing department.

Who runs Witbank’s licensing services

eMalahleni Local Municipality is the parent authority, covering eMalahleni, Kwa-Guqa, Ga-Nala and Ogies in the Nkangala District of Mpumalanga. Where a licensing matter cannot be resolved at the counter, escalate through the switchboard to the responsible directorate.

Licensing offices are a known target for people offering to arrange bookings or licences for a payment: the municipality runs a toll-free fraud and ethics hotline on 0800 204 228 for reporting corruption anonymously, and never pay an individual for a licensing service.
