National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has announced plans to replace the current paper based motor vehicle logbook with a digital version known as the electronic Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate (eLogbook).
In a public notice issued on May 12, 2026, the NTSA said this move is part of its broader digital transformation and road safety initiatives, which are aimed at modernising operations and improving service delivery.
NTSA stated that the electronic logbook system will officially go live on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.
According to NTSA, the eLogbook will be fully integrated into all motor vehicle registration services.
What NTSA eLogbook Entails
This will include new vehicle registration, transfer of ownership, change of particulars, inspection processes, and other related transactions.
Vehicle owners will be able to access, view, download, and verify their digital logbooks through their eCitizen accounts upon completion of their transactions.
NTSA explained that the new system is expected to improve efficiency by reducing the processing timelines and delays which are associated with manual documentation.
Further, the Authority stated that the eLogbook will enhance security by reducing the risk of document forgery, loss, and tampering through advanced digital safeguards.

Advantages of eLogbook
According to the notice, the eLogbook will improve convenience for vehicle owners, insurance companies, financial institutions, and any other stakeholders by enabling easier online access to the registration documents.
In addition, NTSA communicated that the system will strengthen data management by providing real-time and accurate records to support traffic enforcement, insurance verification, and road safety initiatives.
This system will also minimise opportunities for corruption and improve the user experience for the public.
