The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has announced a license revalidation exercise for motor vehicle dealers, tow truck owners, and repairers, set from November 11 to November 22, 2024.
This exercise will require all relevant operators to update their licenses through a multi-agency initiative to ensure compliance with the law.
In a statement released on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, NTSA highlighted its legal mandate under the Traffic Act Cap 403, which gives it authority to license and regulate motor vehicle and motorcycle dealers in Kenya. The exercise will affect both new and second-hand motor vehicle dealers, as well as tow truck operators and repairers.
“Through this Public Notice, the Authority informs all tow truck owners, motor vehicle dealers (new and second hand), and repairers of motor vehicles of a multi-agency licence revalidation exercise scheduled from 11th to 22nd November 2024,” the statement read.
NTSA instructed all operators to complete and submit an online revalidation form by Wednesday, November 6, 2024. The form is available on the NTSA website (www.ntsa.go.ke). As part of the exercise, NTSA said a multi-agency team will conduct physical inspections of the operators’ premises to verify the information submitted.
NTSA highlighted the need for operators to be diligent in completing the online forms.
“All operators are therefore directed to complete and submit an online licence revalidation form available on the NTSA Website (www.ntsa.go.ke) on or before Wednesday 6th November 2024. As part of the exercise, the Multi-Agency team will conduct a physical inspection of the operator’s premises to verify the information submitted through the online revalidation form.
