After being temporarily unavailable for the past few weeks, licensing services in Ermelo have resumed operations, bringing relief to motorists and residents who rely on the facility for documentation and vehicle-related services.
The local licensing centre had been closed due to staffing and administrative challenges, which led to a backlog of appointments and frustration among community members needing licences, renewals and other official services.
With the reopening, officials say that staff are now back on site and ready to assist the public with a range of services, including driver’s licence renewals, vehicle registrations and related administrative processes.
Residents who had experienced delays are being encouraged to contact the office directly to confirm appointments or seek guidance on how to proceed with outstanding applications.
The municipality has reassured the public that measures are in place to prevent similar disruptions in future and that efforts are being made to improve service delivery at all administrative points.
Community members have welcomed the news, saying the reopening will help ease pressure for those who rely on timely access to licensing services.
