National Transport and Safety Authority takes over road transport roles

All road transport department services have been transferred from the Kenya Revenue Authority to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) effective July 1. This means that motorists applying for new driving licences or vehicle logbooks will henceforth be required to do so from the NTSA and not from the ground floor of the Times Towers as has been the practice for years.

Some of the other crucial services moved to the now influential transport authority include registration and licensing of motor vehicles and trailers, licensing of drivers and conductors, motor vehicles and drivers’ records and licensing of motor vehicle dealers. Other roles include transfer of motor vehicle ownership and issuance of motor vehicles copy of records.
