385. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason why the NDLS, a public service, will not accept cash as payment; the reason that cash is not being treated as legal tender in a designated public service; if he will order an immediate reversal of this decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The decision to no longer accept cash payments at National Driver Licence Services (NDLS) offices was made after evaluating security, administration and value for money factors at the tendering process.

Payment at NDLS offices can be made by credit or debit card, Google Pay/Apple Pay or with Payzone vouchers. Payzone vouchers can be purchased from retailers in towns and villages nationwide (over 3,500 outlets). The NDLS also allows an accompanying person make card payments for customers who do not have cards themselves.
