Frequently Asked Questions

1. What happens if I lose my license card?

You’ll need to apply for a duplicate license card following the same regulations as before. Submit a high-resolution passport-sized photo (electronically or in person).

2. Can I use both paper and card licenses?

No, once the card license is issued, paper licenses will be phased out. However, paper licenses remain valid until they expire.

3. How do I check my medical validity?

Scan the 2D barcode on your license card using a QR scanner app (e.g., PDF417) to view medical validity and expiry dates.

4. What is the turnaround time for renewals?

Current processing times remain unchanged, but SACAA aims to gradually improve these timelines with time.
