How to Pay Motor Vehicle Annual Road Licence Fees in Kenya

Motor vehicle owners in Kenya can pay their annual road licence fees online through the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) services on the eCitizen platform.

The process is fully digital and allows payments through M-Pesa, bank transfer, mobile banking, and debit or credit cards.
