The department of home affairs anti-corruption unit has identified the abuse of traffic register numbers by foreign migrants without the required documentation to illegally enter into transactions in South Africa.
A traffic register number TRN is the main identification number accepted for road traffic transactions on the eNaTIS National Transport Information System for foreigners and organisations that serve as non-legal entities.
A foreigner who is not yet registered on eNaTIS and who wants to buy or register a motor vehicle is required to produce an identification document or a TRN which requires proof of legal residence in South Africa.
