The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued a public appeal urging motor vehicle owners to collect thousands of unclaimed logbooks.
In a notice on Friday, August 1, the authority said a large number of logbooks remain uncollected, despite being ready for release to their rightful owners.
“Thousands of logbooks remain uncollected across NTSA offices,” the notice read.
Vehicle owners are encouraged to visit the specific NTSA centres they had selected during the application process to collect the documents.
“We request motor vehicle owners to collect their logbooks from the centres identified during the application process. The collection process is free of charge. Present the previous logbook and your identification card at the collection point,” the notice added.

This comes a day after NTSA issued a fresh set of directives to motorists across the country as part of an ongoing compliance operation to curb road accidents and enhance passenger safety.
In a notice released on Thursday, July 31, the agency outlined a series of regulations targeting both private and public service vehicle (PSV) operators, warning that enforcement officers are conducting spot checks across various regions.
The NTSA emphasized that all vehicles must be roadworthy and covered by valid insurance certificates.
Public Service Vehicles and commercial vehicles are expected to hold up-to-date inspection certificates, with PSVs required to operate only along their licensed routes.
NTSA also directed all PSV drivers to carry valid Road Service Licenses (RSLs) and PSV badges, and both drivers and conductors are required to wear official uniforms in accordance with the Public Service Vehicle Regulations, 2024.
Additionally, the Authority reminded drivers to observe lane discipline and obey posted speed limits, with fitted functional speed limiters capable of transmitting data to the NTSA’s centralized system.
Drivers were also cautioned against overloading vehicles or operating without a valid driving license.
The notice further reiterated the need for motorists to avoid driving under the influence, noting that such behavior continues to be a significant cause of road fatalities.
Passengers were not left out of the directive. The NTSA urged all commuters to wear seatbelts regardless of the journey's length and to remain vigilant while on the road.
