The National Transport and Safety Authority has published a step-by-step guide on how to book an inspection for county and national government vehicles.

In a statement on June 23, the authority revealed that there are four types of inspections carried out on these government vehicles, including annual (PSV and Commercial), change of particulars, compliance and new motor vehicle registration.

To book an inspection of either, the entity is charged Ksh1,050, and the entire process is completed within a day.

After that, select the inspection tab. Then, third, scroll down, pick the car, and click View. Next, click "book now" and choose your desired date and centre.

To proceed to the next step, which is the payment step, you must click submit to pay for the inspection before clicking complete.

After making a payment, click on Motor Vehicle Services and choose one of the four aforementioned inspection types. After that, click complete booking.

After completing the process, navigate to the application history to download and print the receipt and booking slip. You will be required to carry the booking slip and payment receipt for inspection.

This notice comes just days after the authority released yet another statement breaking down the process both county and national government organisations should follow to register on its portal.

The process breakdown sought to have the government institutions register on the portal to facilitate their access to NTSA services, including inspection.

The registration process is free of charge, but the institutions are expected to add official documents, including an authorisation letter from the entity, a copy of the ID of the authorised person and the organisation's KRA PIN, which should be uploaded in PDF format.
