I purchased a new BMW 1200GS in SA, 2007. I needed an address and also a TRNC to register the bike, as a foreign non resident.
The Traffic Register Number Certificate is issued under the National Road Traffic act 1996 at an SA Vehicle Registration Office. You will need a passport photo and proof of home country residential address, along with a local (SA) residential or Post Office address.
Once you have this certificate, you can then register the vehicle in your name, for which you get a Certificate of Registration. IF the vehicle is used, I believe you need a roadworthiness inspection certificate, before ownership transfer of a second hand vehicle.
The TRNC allows you to carry out any further transactions with the SA Vehicle Registration Office
Hope this helps.......
