Straight answers
Registration questions, decoded.
01Is registration assistance compulsory?+
No. It is an optional paid administration service. You can handle registration directly with the relevant registering authority if you prefer.
02How much does it cost?+
Buy a Trailer charges R2,000 for optional registration assistance. Government registration and licensing charges are separate. Roadworthy, police clearance, weighbridge, duplicate-document, courier or other special-case costs are also separate when required.
03How long does eNaTIS registration take?+
Timing depends on complete documents and the registering authority. Government guidance notes that introducing a vehicle record can take a few days, so we do not advertise an unrealistic same-day guarantee.
04Can you register a second-hand trailer with no papers?+
Missing papers can indicate a serious ownership or identity problem. Do not buy first and hope to fix it later. The trailer and available documents must be checked before the transaction; no outcome can be guaranteed.
05What if I am buying through a company or trust?+
The checklist changes. Entity registration information, proof of business address and proxy or representative documents may be required. We confirm the exact list before submission.
