Motorists in the country will be charged Ksh3,050 to acquire the new plates.
The process of acquiring new generation number plates would only take seven days, while the transfer of logbook ownership is slated to take three days.
National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) launched the new generation plates in August 2022, as it moved to curb fraud and crime in the industry. The plates also have a unique identification number (serial number) tied to the chassis number of the vehicle.
According to a notice shared on Friday, January 27, motorists in the country will be charged Ksh3,050 to acquire the new plates.
The process of acquiring new generation number plates would only take seven days, while the transfer of logbook ownership is slated to take three days.
NTSA shared 9 simple steps for motorists to follow and replace their old plates. The transport authority advised motorists to visit its official website in order to access the service.
Application Process
The new plates came as NTSA acquired a new data enterprise center aimed at improving service delivery. The authority said the new center will ensure motorists and clients get services including registration and vehicle ownership within the same day.
According to NTSA, the new registration process will commence with the newly registered vehicles from the KDK series and backtracking to the old registered vehicles.
