How to Register a Transport Company with NTSA in Kenya

Starting a transport company in Kenya requires more than just vehicles and drivers—it begins with compliance. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is the government body responsible for licensing transport companies, and the process has been streamlined through the eCitizen platform.

If you’re looking to register a transport company in Kenya, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do just that:

Steps to Register a Transport Company with NTSA in Kenya
Step 1: Register Your Business with the Registrar of Companies
Head over to the Business Registration Service (BRS) on eCitizen and register your company. Reserve a name, provide details of directors, and obtain a Certificate of Incorporation.
Step 2: Create a Corporate Account on eCitizen
Once your company is legally recognized, create a corporate eCitizen account. This account gives access to corporate services, including NTSA business licensing.
Step 3: Upload Company Documents
Prepare and submit the following to NTSA via your corporate account:
– Certificate of Incorporation
KRA PIN certificate for the company
– KRA PINs and ID details of directors

Step 4: Pay the Registration Fee
NTSA charges a registration fee depending on the transport services offered (PSV, logistics, cargo, etc.). Payment is done online via eCitizen’s integrated payment system.
Step 5: Schedule a Premises Inspection
NTSA will inspect your company premises to ensure compliance with transport safety standards. Prepare your office, records, and management systems for inspection.

Benefits of a Corporate NTSA Account

By registering under a corporate account, you gain access to advanced features that simplify transport management:

  • Adding and managing multiple vehicles
  • Assigning drivers to vehicles
  • Updating company details online
  • Accessing digital records of your licenses and compliance documents

Final Word:
