My certificate of registration (NaTIS document) is gone. What now?
You can apply for a duplicate at the traffic department, which has to be your local motor vehicle registration authority. Go to your nearest registering authority and bring along your identity document and complete form DRC (Application for Duplicate Registration/Deregistration Certificate in respect of Motor Vehicle) and form DCT (Declaration in respect of Lost Documents).
Bear in mind that only a title holder can request a duplicate. It costs in the region of about R150, and the price will differ from province to province. Pick up the phone and find out the correct pricing before you hit the queues. Again, the amount of time it takes can vary from getting it on the spot (in Cape Town) to 6 weeks in other provinces.
My car is paid in full – will the bank have my papers?
Not necessarily. You have to make a point of requesting the car’s registration documents and doing a transfer of ownership from the finance house, so that you are registered as the title holder. But we suggest making a call to the bank/finance house even before queing at the traffic department, just to be sure.
My bank did send me the registration papers, but now they’re also lost…
If the bank sent you these and you put off registering yourself as the title holder, you may need to ring the bank again. This time, they may not help you for free, though, and it may take a bit of time.
This time, ask the bank for all four documents for the transfer of ownership, and request a new settlement letter, because the old settlement letter could be dated and signed. If you did not register the car in your name within those 21 days of the date on the letter, you could be liable for a hefty penalty.
Make certified copies to be safe
Our advice would be to make certified copies of ALL of your car’s documents, and give a set of each to your mom, or best friend, or both. Rather have it and not need it, than the other way around!
