NTSA also gave a directive on how to replace a lost or defaced DL by opening a free TIMS account on www.ntsa.go.ke.
"When opening the account, ensure all the information provided is correct and if you experience any challenges, contact the nearest NTSA office for assistance. Do not disclose your personal details to any party,"
"NTSA shall not be responsible for any transactions within your TIMS Account," NTSA added.
The public has been also urged to visit any of the NTSA offices for the Smart DL application and personalization process.
They added that during the application process, the system will generate an invoice of Ksh 3,050. All payments shall be made online. NTSA does not accept any cash payments. The validity period for the DL will be 3 (three)years.
On completion of the application process, one will be advised when to collect the DL.
