NTSA flags 5 TikTok accounts posing as its official agents
By Dan Kauna, August 31, 2026The National Transport and Safety Authority has issued a public scam alert warning social media users against fraudulent TikTok accounts pretending to offer official services.
In a video notice published on August 31, 2026, on its official X handle, the transport regulator flagged five specific accounts that have been impersonating the agency to deceive Kenyans seeking driving licence services.
The impostors use display names such as NTSA AGENT, NTSA KENYA, and THOMAS NTSA AGENT to appear legitimate.
In their profile biographies, the accounts promise to assist users with driving licence renewals, missing classes, class endorsements, archived records, and new applications.
Instead of directing users to official government portals, these accounts instruct people to contact private mobile phone numbers via WhatsApp or phone calls.
Flagged accounts and contacts
Among the flagged handles is @ntsakenya0.
Another account, operating under the handle @classendo07 and listed as @classendo on the summary notice, gathered 28,000 followers while directing users to WhatsApp numbers for NTSA services.
The agency also identified @ntsa347 alongside @thomasntsa and @ntsa.agent3.
These accounts frequently post videos displaying official driving licence class charts, e-logbook guides, and vehicle category diagrams to lure Kenyans into believing they are dealing with authorised officers.
How to stay safe online
To protect road users from losing money and sensitive data, the authority urged the public to cease any interaction with unauthorised social media pages.
“NEVER share your personal information with anyone,” NTSA stated in the notice.
The transport regulator further instructed citizens on the exact steps to take if they encounter impostors online. “If you come across a suspicious account claiming to belong to NTSA, DO NOT engage, block and report it immediately,” the authority added.
The agency reminded Kenyans that all official service applications, driving licence processing, and fee payments are handled exclusively through verified government platforms and authorised customer service channels.
