Domestic road transportation permits are issued for the transportation of passengers for reward within the borders of the country.
These permits are issued for operation within municipal areas of towns or cities and long-distance transportation between towns countrywide. Moreover, cross-border road transport permits are issued in terms of the Road Traffic and Transport Act for the transportation of goods and passengers between Namibia and contracting countries.
