Licence Disc Renewals
About This Service
Cathy's renews motor vehicle licence discs so you don't need to queue at the licensing department. Personal vehicles renew annually; buses and vans may renew every 6 months. The expiry date appears in bold on the licence disc. Renewal must be done within 21 days of expiry; arrears and penalties apply after delays.
Note: Your disc may be blocked if you have other unlicensed vehicles or unpaid traffic fines in your name. We can assist with these too.
