Mr. Brendan Walsh:

To date this year, we have received 1,618 applications for exchange licences from South Africans. Some 90% of those have been processed, that is, most of them, and this has been done within 24 days, which is faster than we are doing with driver's licences from other countries. There are, however, instances where we have some problems with the South African authority in trying to secure the information about the person who is looking for the exchange licence.
