Filling it by hand

One wrong digit, an X in the wrong box, a missing field — and you're turned away. Another day off work, another queue.

With TrafficForms

Photograph your documents, we place the details in the right boxes, you review and download. Correct the first time.

What is the NCO form?

The NCO (Notification of Change of Ownership / Sale of Motor Vehicle) is the official South African form a seller uses to tell the licensing authority they've sold or transferred a vehicle. It's the yellow form most people mean when they talk about ‘signing the car over.’

Lodging it removes the vehicle from your name on eNaTIS — so any licence fees, e-tolls and traffic fines after the sale become the new owner's responsibility, not yours. Until it's lodged, the car is still legally yours, with all the liability that carries.

Who fills it in

  • The seller completes Parts A and C and submits the NCO. This is the seller’s protection.
  • The buyer completes Part B, and separately registers the vehicle using the RLV form.
  • Both parties sign. The seller should submit within 21 days of the sale.

What you need

  • Vehicle details — registration number, VIN/chassis — from the licence disc or registration certificate (RC1).
  • The seller's and buyer's identity details, and the date of sale.
  • For a company-owned vehicle: company registration details and the appointed proxy or representative.

The hard part — and how we help

The NCO is rejected at the counter for small, avoidable reasons: a wrong digit in an ID or VIN, an X in the wrong box, the wrong person’s details in the wrong section. Each mistake means another trip.

TrafficForms removes that risk. Photograph your ID, the registration certificate, and (for a company) the company papers. We read the details and place them onto the official NCO form — in the right boxes. Then you:

  • Review every field and correct anything — errors caught before the counter sees them.
  • Download a completed form ready to print, sign and submit.
  • Keep your documents — nothing handed to an agent; uploads deleted after processing.
  • Handle company & proxy situations that trip up most manual attempts.

After you've filled the NCO

  1. Print the completed form and sign it (seller signs Parts A and C; buyer signs Part B).
  2. Submit at your registering authority (DLTC) or participating post office, with a copy of your ID and the buyer’s details — within 21 days.
  3. Hand the original registration certificate (RC1) to the buyer for their RLV registration.
  4. Keep your proof of submission. Tip: photograph the stamped receipt in case fines come through later.

Frequently asked questions

Is TrafficForms official? Is this the eNaTIS website?

No. TrafficForms is an independent, private tool that helps you fill in the official form correctly. We're not connected to eNaTIS, the Department of Transport, or any licensing authority, and we don't submit anything for you. Think of us as a helper that prepares the paperwork — you still submit it yourself.

Is my ID and document information safe?

Your uploaded documents are used only to read the details needed for your form, and are deleted after processing. You review everything before you download. We don't sell your information or submit it to any authority. See our Privacy Policy.

Will the licensing office accept a form I filled with TrafficForms?

The form is a copy of the official NCO that you print, sign and submit yourself. Because you review and confirm every field before downloading, it's filled correctly — but acceptance always rests with the authority, and you remain responsible for checking it and providing required supporting documents (like certified ID copies).

What's the difference between the NCO and the RLV?

The NCO is what the seller submits to take the car out of their name. The RLV is what the buyer submits to put it into theirs. Both are needed for a complete transfer — TrafficForms can help with both. See the RLV guide.

Selling and buying at the same time? See the RLV form guide.
