NTSA has introduced the smart driving license to replace the older version (red booklet). This small card contains a chip with all the driver’s information, such as name, blood group, gender and date of birth. Additionally, thanks to the introduction of the demerit point system, traffic police can easily fine rogue drivers.

To apply for the smart driving licence, you must be registered on the TIMs portal. Additionally, you need at least Kshs 3,100 in your M-Pesa account and have your phone with you since you will need it to access your account. If you have that sorted out, follow the following prompts.
