NTSA to roll out 3rd Identifier  Sticker in October, but at a fee

Kenyan motorists will have to part with Ksh700 to use an electronic chip sticker that allows secure identification and authentication of vehicle ownership.

The National Transport Safety Authority (NTSA) says, “With effect from 1st October, 2017 all motor vehicle inspection bookings will be charged an additional one-off fee of Kshs. 700 for the Third Identifier Sticker.”

“The Third Identifier will be placed on the windscreen of a motor vehicle and will bear discreet and covert features of the motor vehicle registration,ownership and inspection details.”

The chip will expire after 10 years, and motorists will be required to pay another Sh700 for renewal. The same amount will be paid if the chip gets damaged.

However, NTSA warns that, “Due to its security features, the sticker is protected against forgery and is automatically destroyed when removed or tampered with. Therefore, no one should be allowed to tamper or remove the sticker for any reason.”
