What should I do?
The first step in the process is to visit your nearest NaTIS office with a certified copy of your ID. Once there, you will need to apply for a confirmation of a driving licence.
Once issued, an affidavit form should be taken at the nearest police station to be completed by the commissioner of oath.
This form, together with the application form for a driving licence, a certified ID copy/temporary ID copy, and an amount of N$275 must be submitted to NaTIS for processing and issuance of a duplicate Driving Licence.
If your Driving Licence is lost or stolen, you must:
- Obtain an affidavit at a police station declaring that your Driving Licence is lost or stolen
- Submit the affidavit and a certified copy of your ID at any NaTIS office to request a duplicate of your Driving Licence
- Pay the application fee of N$200 and N$50 for a temporary driving licence.
It’s important to note that you will also need to pay an additional fee of N$50 for a temporary driving licence, which will be issued while your duplicate driving licence is being processed. It’s important to carry this temporary driving licence with you at all times while you are driving, as it is considered a valid form of identification.
It’s also worth noting that you should contact the NaTIS Call Centre on 061 284 7777 during office hours or send an email to pr@ra.org.na if you have any further questions or concerns about the process of obtaining a duplicate driving licence in Namibia.
In summary, if your driving licence is lost or stolen in Namibia, all you have to do is follow these simple steps: Obtain an affidavit at a police station, submit the affidavit and a certified copy of your ID at any NaTIS office, pay the application fee and wait for the issuance of your duplicate driving licence. Remember to also carry your temporary driving licence while you wait for the new one.
