The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has introduced a new process for transferring ownership of inherited vehicles or those managed under an estate in Kenya, effective Monday, January 19. This alternative transfer system aims to prevent ownership disputes among families and heirs.

• Applicants must provide a range of documents including a certificate of grant, death certificate, original logbook, and a sworn affidavit from the successor.
• The process involves logging into the NTSA service portal, selecting the alternative/forced transfer option, uploading scanned documents, and making payments.
• After seven days, applicants will book a vehicle inspection, followed by a physical document submission at an NTSA office.
• The NTSA will send an SMS notification confirming approval within three working days after inspection and document verification.
• This announcement follows a prior warning issued on Wednesday, December 10, regarding a fake website named 'Mverified' offering vehicle records and logbook search services, with NTSA clarifying that official services are only available via the eCitizen platform.
