Answer:
Yes it is possible. A foreign national can apply for a learner’s licence (LL) and driving licence (DL) using a foreign identification document or a Traffic Register Number (TRN).
A TRN is issued to a foreign national who is not in possession of an identification document. The person must submit the valid passport or any other travel document as recognized by the Minister of Home Affairs as valid for identification purposes. Based on this a TRN is issued on a register number certificate (form RNC).
The TRN is issued free of charge on the day the person applies for a LL. It must then be presented for all subsequent transactions related to licences or motor vehicle registration and licensing. The certificate should be safeguarded as it is a form of identification for motor vehicle and licensing related activities. A fee is charged for the replacement of a lost, stolen or defaced form.

A friend of mine went to get his Traffic Registration Number at the traffic office in Milnerton and was sent to the Municipal Offices in Milnerton who said he needs to get a BI-127 from Home Affairs. Does anyone know what this is and if it can be obtained from any home affairs or has to be obtained from Mowbray (He is a DRC Refugee)
I am a foreigner in SA and would like to get a learner’s licence, so went to my nearest vehicle registery and was told they need a letter of employment to get a Traffic registery, and I was told that one of the requirement is that I should have a letter of employment. The problem that I have now is I do not go to work as I am a stay mum. Please advice on way forward since I am not employed.
If you are a foreigner they need a letter of employment. So I guess if you are not working you cannot take a driver’s license in SA as a foreigner. If you go with the letter from your employer they will tell you to get a letter from your Embassy explaining why you, a Kwerekwere need to take a lisence in a European country like SA. If you are a black African, good luck coz you might fail to take the lisence if your pocket is not deep enough.
