The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued a public notice requiring every driver to transfer their details to the electronic system before the end of 2016.
"NTSA has migrated Motor Vehicle Registration, Motor Vehicle Inspection Booking, Motor Vehicle Transfer of Ownership, Motor Vehicle Record Search, Driver License Record Search, Driving License Issuance, Driver License Renewal and Application for Road Service Licenses to the Transport Integrated Management System (TIMS)," the statement read in part.
The Authority further directed individual car owners, companies, motor vehicle dealers and financial institutions to create their profile on TIMS.
According to the notice, persons holding transfer forms (FORM C) should submit them for processing failure to which the forms will not be accepted manually from January 1, 2017.
This comes days after the Authority dismissed a message making rounds on social media instructing license holders to send a short code message in order to know the status of their DL and avoid being delayed on roadblocks.
The false warning claimed that those who failed to ensure their details are on the eCitizen and NTSA portals by December 31, 2016, would have to redo the driving test.
