The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued a fresh advisory to motor vehicle owners who have not collected their physical logbooks, with only four months remaining before the deadline.
NTSA Director General Nashon Kondiwa is overseeing the authority as it transitions from printed physical logbooks to digital e-Logbooks, a move aimed at improving the security and management of motor vehicle records.
The authority urged motorists whose physical logbooks are still held at NTSA offices to collect them before the deadline to avoid possible inconveniences.
Nashon Kondiwa leads NTSA transition
NTSA said motorists have four months to collect their physical logbooks, with the collection process remaining free.
In an advisory issued on Tuesday, NTSA urged vehicle owners to visit the relevant offices and collect the documents as the authority implements the shift to e-Logbooks.
Motorists collecting their logbooks are required to present the previous logbook and identification documents for verification.
The advisory comes as NTSA, under DG Nashon Kondiwa, continues implementing reforms designed to move vehicle ownership and registration records into a digital system.
Kondiwa has been at the helm of NTSA as the authority works to modernise services and reduce reliance on physical documentation.
NTSA sets physical logbooks deadline
NTSA announced in May 2026 that it would phase out printed physical logbooks, paving the way for e-Logbooks from June 10, 2026.
The authority said vehicle records would subsequently be maintained through NTSA’s digital platforms, with e-Logbooks uploaded to the portals used to manage motor vehicle information.
The transition means motorists will increasingly rely on digital records rather than physical logbooks when accessing vehicle ownership information.
NTSA said the digital system was intended to strengthen the safety of vehicle records while reducing errors, delays and the risk of forgery associated with paper documentation.
With the deadline now four months away, Kondiwa’s NTSA is urging motorists who still have physical logbooks at NTSA offices to act before the collection window closes.
Motorists urged to collect logbooks
NTSA said vehicle owners should not wait until the final weeks to collect their physical logbooks.
The authority reiterated that collection is free and that motorists should carry the required documentation to facilitate verification at NTSA offices.
The latest advisory by NTSA under Nashon Kondiwa comes as the authority accelerates the transition to e-Logbooks and digital management of motor vehicle records.
Motorists who have questions regarding their physical logbooks or the digital transition have been encouraged to seek clarification from NTSA through its official service channels.
