Data Dot

Legislation made it compulsory from September 2012 for all vehicles to be fitted with Dta Dots. Vehicle police Clearance certificates will not be done if Data Dot is not present.

Thus either a certificate must be presented or Data Dot must be done.All vehicles manufactured from September 2012, in South Africa, will be Data Dotted at the factory.

What is Data Dot? A unique number is sprayed on the vehicle at strategic places. A typical application represents about 5000 tags. This is virtually impossible to remove. This number is registered against the vehicle details on a central register.

Who does Data Dot? There are a few suppliers but your first port of call should be Road Worthy Centres.

We can arrange Data Dot on behalf of clients.

Vehicles are defined as:cars,caravans, motorbikes, trailers, quads, tractors, trucks, mining equipment and construction equipment.
