License Renewal: Decision on Extension Pending - Issue Urgently to Parliament

The House of Representatives is considering extending the deadline for license renewals due to technical issues on the Department of Road Transport's website on the last day of renewal. Citizens reported being unable to renew their licenses despite their efforts. The relevant Parliamentary Transport Committee is expected to urgently forward a relevant bill to the Plenary Session to allow for an extension and avoid surcharges for those who renewed after the deadline. The surcharge for late renewals amounts to €10 plus 10% of the license value.
