According
to
an
internal
ZINARA
notice,
any
vehicle
with
an
expired
licence
is
considered
non-compliant,
and
owners
risk
being
fined
by
the
police.
Reads
the
notice:
“ZINARA
does
not
offer
a
7-day
grace
period
for
vehicle
licensing.
Our
operations
are
in
accordance
with
Part
IV
to
the
Vehicle
Registration
and
Licensing
Act
(Chapter
13:14),
and
in
terms
of
this
legislation
no
such
grace
period
is
provided
for.“While
ZINARA
operates
under
the
provisions
of
the
Vehicle
Registration
and
Licensing
Act,
enforcement
is
implemented
by
agencies
or
partners
on
the
basis
of
complementary
statutes
and
by-laws
guiding
their
operations.“ZINARA
participates
in
enforcement
through
its
designated
blitz
teams
and
in
collaboration
with
law
enforcement
agents.“Penalties
for
failure
to
renew
vehicle
licenses
start
to
accrue
30
calendar
days
after
the
expiry
date.
During
this
period,
the
vehicle
is
categorised
as
non-compliant
and
will
be
liable
for
any
arrest
or
detention
by
law
enforcement
agents.“Clients
are
therefore
encouraged
to
renew
their
licenses
on
time.
Renewal
can
be
done
within
60
days
prior
to
the
date
of
expiry
(i.e
two
months
before
expiry)
to
avoid
penalties.”
ZINARA
said
vehicle
licences
can
be
renewed
through
several
convenient
channels,
including
ZINARA
licensing
offices,
selected
tollgates,
registered
licensing
agents
nationwide,
and
online
via
the
ZINARA
website
or
authorised
agents.
