The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has urged vehicle owners who applied for logbooks to collect the documents from their respective application centres.
In a notice dated Friday, August 1, the Authority disclosed that thousands of processed logbooks remain uncollected at various NTSA offices across the country.
NTSA emphasised that the collection process is free of charge and that applicants are only required to present their identification card and previous logbook.
“Thousands of logbooks remain uncollected across NTSA offices. We request motor vehicle owners to collect their logbooks from the centres identified during the application process,” read part of the notice.
"The collection process is free of charge. Present the previous logbook and your identification card at the collection point," the Authority added.
To determine whether their logbook is ready for collection, motorists are urged by NTSA to check the status through the Authority's self-service portal.
According to NTSA, all information about a vehicle can be viewed on the registration certificate or logbook once a motorist accesses the portal through their login details.
The latest directive comes barely a day after the Authority launched compliance checks across the country to ensure full compliance with traffic regulations.
In the notice issued on Thursday, July 31, NTSA called on drivers to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy and have a valid insurance certificate, alongside a valid driving licence.
All Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) must have valid Road Service Licences, PSV badges, and the drivers and conductors must wear appropriate uniforms and comply with all the requirements of the PSV Regulations, 2024.
"PSVs and commercial vehicles must be fitted with functional speed limiters and transmit data to the NTSA systems," NTSA announced.
The national crackdown aims to address several challenges facing the road transport sector, including surging cases of road carnage and non-compliance with traffic rules, particularly by drivers and pedestrians.
