Important Notes Before You Visit a DLTC

Bring all required documents — valid South African ID (green barcoded book or smart card, or valid passport for foreign nationals), two certified copies of your ID, two recent passport-sized photographs, and proof of residential address (utility bill or ward councillor letter).
Many DLTCs accept cash only. Confirm with your centre whether card payments are accepted before your visit.
Book online via eNaTIS where available. Gauteng and Eastern Cape DLTCs use the eNaTIS online booking system. Walk-ins may be turned away at busy centres.
Arrive early. DLTCs typically open at 08:00 and close their queues mid-morning once daily capacity is reached. Arriving at 07:30–08:00 significantly improves your chances.
Download the LL1 form in advance. Some DLTCs require you to complete the application form before your appointment.

Before booking your test centre appointment, make sure you're ready for the K53 learner's test.
