How to transfer vehicle ownership (logbook) in Kenya

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA)’s Transport Integrated Management Systems (TIMS) is a platform that offers several services among them transfer of vehicle ownership. Before accepting a vehicle transfer, ensure that the vehicle is registered, get the logbook from the owner and verify the car ownership with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) regulations. Also, ensure there are no accrued unpaid fines.

When transferring ownership of a used vehicle, the total mileage travelled by that vehicle must be declared, except in the case of a moped or motorcycle with a cylinder capacity of 125 cm3 or less. You need to file a vehicle’s file list its descriptive data (make, model, year, engine capacity, net weight) as well as those relating to its registration (number of former owners and years of acquisition). The file makes it possible to know, in particular, whether the vehicle;

  • Has been seriously damaged or rebuilt
  • Has been mechanically verified by the company
  • Has been used for commercial purposes (for example, taxi)

Why transfer vehicle ownership

Transfer of ownership in Kenya can be precipitated by the following events, for which the new owner must register his/her name with the vehicle:

  • A transaction with another person (purchase, sale, exchange or gift)
  • Death of the owner of a vehicle
  • Donation of a vehicle to an organization
  • Sale of a vehicle to a merchant (with or without the purchase of a new vehicle)

NTSA fee for logbook transfer

NTSA charges a vehicle transfer fee depending on the engine size of the vehicle.

    How can one transfer ownership of a motor vehicle when the owner (company) can’t be traced since it collapsed?

      When a company winds up, assets are either liquidated or divided/taken up by the respective owners. Transfer can be done under the current owner. But you can consult NTSA for further guidance.
