This comes days after NTSA explained how motorists and interested parties can confirm whether an eLogbook is genuine.

In an update on Friday, May 22, the authority said users can easily verify the authenticity of the document through the QR code printed on the eLogbook.

"To verify the authenticity of an elogbook, interested parties may scan the QR code printed on the elogbook. The verification and validity information will be generated instantly," NTSA said.

NTSA noted that individuals seeking more detailed information about a vehicle can apply for an official motor vehicle records search as provided for under the law.

"To access the complete motor vehicle records, a copy of the records search must be requested as provided under Section 5 of the Traffic Act (Cap 403)," the authority added.

NTSA also outlined the services and transactions that automatically generate an eLogbook within its system.

These include motor vehicle registration, motor vehicle transfer of ownership, alternative transfer of ownership, and Asset Financing - In charge.

Others are Asset Financing - Discharge, re-registration of motor vehicle, de-registration of motor vehicle, change of particulars inspection, and duplicate logbook.
