On December 27, 2023, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) issued a directive to all motorists to authenticate their eCitizen accounts following its migration from the TIMs portal. The new portal onboarded all services related to the application and renewal of driving licenses for all types of vehicles.
It is crucial for individuals who already possess a driving license or have recently applied for one to regularly check its status to ensure its validity and compliance with the law. The process for checking the driving license status involves the following steps:
1. Visit the eCitizen website at www.ecitizen.go.ke and sign in using your credentials.
2. Proceed to the NTSA service section.
3. Locate and click on the option that says “Application History.”
4. Key in the required information (Identification number or name) and click on the “Submit” button.
After submitting the necessary details, the system will display the current status of your driver’s license, indicating whether it is valid, suspended, or expired.
In some cases, a driving license may display as “Archived,” which means that the license holder has been removed from the NTSA database. NTSA archives licenses that are subject to verification of validity, entitlement, convictions, penalty points, endorsements, and revocations. Individuals with archived licenses should visit the nearest NTSA office and present copies of their national identification cards and driver’s licenses for assistance. Alternatively, the documents can also be submitted online by sending a request through the authority’s email address.
It is important to note that failure to validate and update your eCitizen account may lead to complications, including suspension or invalidation of your driving license. Therefore, adherence to the directive from NTSA is crucial for all motorists to avoid any legal issues related to driving licenses.
NTSA’s migration to the new eCitizen portal is aimed at streamlining and improving the process of applying for and renewing driving licenses for all types of vehicles. Additionally, the integration of all services related to driving licenses on the new portal will provide a more efficient and convenient experience for motorists seeking these services.
In conclusion, the directive from NTSA to authenticate eCitizen accounts and check the status of driving licenses is of utmost importance for all motorists. The process is simple and can be easily completed on the eCitizen website. It is essential for individuals to adhere to this directive to ensure that their driving licenses are valid and compliant with the law.
