Protea Glen Mall smart licensing centre

Gauteng Roads and Transport opened the Protea Glen smart driving licence testing centre at Protea Glen Mall in Soweto on 22 July 2025. It is fully integrated into eNaTIS, the national traffic system. The centre is run by the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport rather than by the City of Johannesburg, which is why the City’s own licensing contact list does not name it.

• Location: Protea Glen Mall, Soweto
• Booking: appointment only, and booking is described by the department as essential
• Payment: cashless, with no cash accepted at the counter
• Hours: weekdays 08h00 to 17h00 and Saturdays 09h00 to 15h00

The department has not published a direct switchboard number for the Protea Glen centre, so no number is published for it. Appointments are made through the Gauteng booking channels for smart licensing centres rather than by phoning the counter.
