Transferring a car logbook is an essential process that ensures the legal ownership of a vehicle is properly transferred from one person to another. In Kenya, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has made this process easier and more convenient by introducing an online portal. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of transferring a car logbook on the NTSA portal.
The first step in transferring a car logbook on the NTSA portal is to create an account. Visit the NTSA website and click on the “Create Account” button. Fill in the required details, including your full name, email address, and phone number. Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive a confirmation email with your login credentials.
After creating an account, go back to the NTSA website and click on the “Login” button. Enter your email address and password to access your account.
Once you are logged in, navigate to the services section and select the “Transfer of Ownership” option. This will take you to the transfer page, where you will need to provide the necessary details.
On the transfer page, you will be required to fill in the vehicle details. This includes the registration number, chassis number, engine number, and the current owner’s details. Make sure to double-check the information to avoid any errors.
After providing the vehicle details, you will need to fill in the new owner’s details. This includes their full name, identification number, and contact information. Again, ensure that all the information is accurate and up to date.
As part of the transfer process, you will need to upload certain documents. These typically include a copy of the new owner’s identification card, a copy of their PIN certificate, and a copy of the current owner’s identification card. Make sure to have these documents ready in digital format before proceeding.
Once you have provided all the necessary details and uploaded the required documents, you will be prompted to pay the transfer fee. The fee can be paid online using various payment methods, including M-Pesa or credit/debit cards. Follow the instructions provided to complete the payment.
After the payment is successfully processed, review all the information you have provided to ensure its accuracy. Once you are satisfied, click on the “Submit” button to submit your transfer application. You will receive a confirmation message with a reference number.
The NTSA portal allows you to track the progress of your transfer application. Simply log in to your account and navigate to the “Transfer of Ownership” section. Enter your reference number, and you will be able to see the status of your application.
Once the transfer process is complete, you will need to collect the new logbook. The NTSA will notify you when the new logbook is ready for collection. Visit the nearest NTSA office with the necessary identification documents to collect your new logbook.
Transferring a car logbook on the NTSA portal is a straightforward process that eliminates the need for physical visits and paperwork. By following the step-by-step guide outlined in this blog post, you can easily transfer the legal ownership of a vehicle from one person to another.
