It doesn’t hurt to book right away though so, here is how you go about it: They are doing it in an orderly fashion and they are starting out with those that passed their tests from January to June 2019. If you have the blue certificate you are going to have to go plastic. If you have a metal licence, you don’t have to go get the new one, for now. It will cost US$5 or it’s kgs worth of ZW$ to get yourself one of these bad boys. So, hopefully, this means no more backlogs going forward. They say going forward those who pass their test can expect their licence after no more than 7 to 10 days. With the new licence being made of plastic, it should be quicker and cheaper to produce. The actual size is similar to the bank card’s. The above is a prop card to showcase what it looks like. You would think it’s not worth mentioning but you would be surprised, the licence is not that size. Source: Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development

What is special about it is that it is scannable, harder to forge and compliant with standards set by SADC and other African bodies among other things.

The Transport and Infrastructural Development Ministry has finally launched the plastic driver’s licence we knew was coming.

It looks like you are finally getting a proper driver’s licence now. There are 800,000 of you in that boat, with the Central Vehicle Registry having a backlog that dates back to 2019. I know many of you have that laminated blue little paper in your glove box right now.
