Vehicle License Renewals: 750,000 Expected, 11,000 Airbag Recalls Pending

Approximately 750,000 vehicles are expected to have their license plates renewed for 2026. Simultaneously, 11,000 vehicles still have pending airbag replacements, down from the 100,500 announced last year. The renewal process began on January 7th and continues until March 11th. The Department of Road Transport (TOM) emphasizes that no extension will be granted and that renewal is easily done online. Vehicle owners with outstanding airbag recalls must first resolve this issue before they can renew their license.
