1st. The African way....

2nd. Officially you can register through an SA resident. Cheryl Sandmann in Cape Town offers such registrations. If you need more details you should contact her directly.

Good luck...

As long as you have an International ID card with personal ID number, it shouldn't be a problem. I have three SA cars registered in my name (Swedish) and my girlfriend just got in the South African Traffic Department system a two weeks ago with her ID no.

But if you don't have an International ID card you'll need a TRN which is harder, but a few still manage.

Sorry, I ment National ID card.

Do a Google Pic search for "Swedish ID card" or "Dutch ID card" for example and you will see how they look.

I think you must come from a country that has a personal ID number, it will not work with just a Card number. (A Swedish Personal number is unique number for you will be given to you at birth and that will never change)

This is likely because your personal ID number will never change no matter how many times you change passport, drivers license or ID card.
Even if it would be possible to register a car on a Card number it would not be a good idea as you will not be able to prove that you own your vehicle if you change ID card or loose it!

To register with National ID card, they use code "03 Foreign ID" and no need to show passport.
Is free of charge, takes 10 minutes and no need for the hard-to-get-TRN.

The South African traffic department. Just tell them that you want to be registered to be able to by a car and hand over your ID and proof of address - and not your passport with a tourist visa in it...

Someone in SA who is probably quite clued up on this sort of thing is Paul Marsh, formerly of Footloose 4x4 in the UK, who now lives back in SA and has a business preparing overland vehicles very similar to what he did with Footloose.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
