Renewing a driving license in Kenya is a relatively straightforward process that can be done through the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). Here are the steps to follow:
- Visit the NTSA TIMS portal: The first step in renewing a driving license is to access the NTSA Transport Integrated Management System (TIMS) portal. You can access the portal using any internet-enabled device such as a smartphone, tablet or computer.
- Login or create an account: If you have an existing NTSA TIMS account, log in using your username and password. If you don’t have an account, you will need to create one by providing your personal details including your full name, ID number, and phone number.
- Apply for driving license renewal: Once you have logged in to the NTSA TIMS portal, select “Driving License” from the menu and then click on “Apply for DL Renewal.” You will then be prompted to enter your current driving license number.
- Pay the renewal fee: The next step is to pay the driving license renewal fee using the available payment options such as M-PESA, credit/debit card or bank transfer. The renewal fee is Ksh. 1,050 for a three-year license.
- Book an appointment: After payment, you will need to book an appointment for the renewal process. You will be prompted to select a convenient date and time for your appointment.
- Attend the appointment: On the day of your appointment, show up at the NTSA office where you booked the appointment with the following documents:
- The old driving license
- A copy of your National ID
- A copy of your KRA PIN certificate
- Biometric capture and processing: At the NTSA office, your biometric data (fingerprints, photograph, and signature) will be captured for the new license. The new license will then be processed and printed, and you will be issued with a receipt to collect your new license at a later date.
In conclusion, renewing a driving license in Kenya through the NTSA is a simple and straightforward process that can be completed in a few easy steps. It is important to note that driving with an expired license is illegal and may result in a fine or other legal consequences. Therefore, it is advisable to renew your license in good time to avoid any inconvenience.
