Welcome to the world of NTSA, where technology meets convenience! If you’re here, it’s likely because you need to collect a logbook or help someone do so.
In this guide, we’ll take you through the process of adding authorized persons to collect a logbook on the NTSA TIMS Portal, making your life easier and logbook collection a breeze.
The NTSA TIMS Portal – A Brief Overview
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of adding authorized persons, let’s quickly understand what the NTSA TIMS Portal is all about. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has introduced the Transport Integrated Management System (TIMS) Portal to streamline various services related to vehicles and driving in Kenya.
The TIMS Portal is your one-stop shop for all things related to your vehicle, from renewing your driver’s license to checking the status of your vehicle’s inspection. Today, we’re focusing on a particularly helpful feature: adding authorized persons for logbook collection.
Adding Authorized Persons
Visit the NTSA Website
The journey begins at the NTSA website, www.ntsa.go.ke. Open your web browser, type in the URL, and hit ‘Enter.’ Make sure you have a stable internet connection to avoid any interruptions during the process.
Select Your Preferred Service Portal
Once you’re on the NTSA website, you’ll notice several service portals. Each portal is designed for specific tasks, so be sure to choose the one that suits your needs. In my experience, selecting the right portal from the get-go can save you a lot of time and frustration.
Login to Your TIMS Account
Before you proceed, you need to have a TIMS account. If you don’t have one yet, you can easily create it by following the registration process on the TIMS Portal. For those who already have an account, log in with your credentials.
Access the User Center Menu
Once you’re logged in, you’ll find yourself in the TIMS dashboard. To add authorized persons, navigate to the ‘User Center’ menu. It’s usually located in the top menu bar or sidebar, depending on the portal version you’re using.
Navigate to Authorization
In the ‘User Center,’ you’ll see various options. Locate and click on ‘Authorization.’ This is the section where you can manage authorized persons for logbook collection and other services.
Select the Collection Center
Selecting the right collection center is crucial because this is where your authorized person will collect the logbook. The NTSA has several collection centers across Kenya, so make sure to choose the one that’s most convenient for you or the person you’re authorizing.
Add an Authorized Person
Here comes the exciting part – adding the authorized person. But before you proceed, remember that the person you authorize must also have a TIMS account. If they don’t, ask them to create one following the same registration process.
Now, input the ID number of the authorized person in the designated field. After entering the ID, click on the search icon. The system will fetch the person’s details, ensuring you’re authorizing the right individual. Once you’re sure, click the ‘ADD’ button to complete the authorization process.
