Want to know who owns a vehicle in Kenya? Need the official NTSA Copy of Records (CoR) before buying a car, or checking whether a logbook is genuine? We perform a motor vehicle owner search on the NTSA eCitizen portal on your behalf — all you need is the number plate or chassis number, and we send you the full results.

No eCitizen account needed. No queuing at NTSA. No M-Pesa integration headaches. Just WhatsApp us your vehicle registration number, pay our small service fee, and receive the official Copy of Records directly to your email — and key ownership details as a summary to your phone.

Vehicle fraud is common in Kenya — cloned plates, forged logbooks, and cars under bank or court caveat. A quick NTSA vehicle ownership search before paying protects you from losing your money. We make this check fast, easy, and affordable. Use our Kenya number plate search to instantly verify any vehicle registered with NTSA — from anywhere in the country, at any time.

What Is a Motor Vehicle Copy of Records (CoR)?

The Copy of Records (CoR) is the official NTSA document that shows the full history and legal status of any registered vehicle in Kenya. It is the most authoritative way to verify car ownership and is required for vehicle transfers, insurance claims, court proceedings, and due diligence before purchasing a vehicle.

When you order a vehicle owner search through MyCyber, you receive the official printable CoR document sent straight to your email, plus a summary of key details shared on WhatsApp for your convenience.

📌 Pro tip: If a seller refuses to let you check the vehicle on NTSA before buying, treat that as a red flag. A legitimate seller has nothing to hide — and this search costs just KSh 750.

  • Your phone number for WhatsApp updates — to stay informed during the verification process

📌 Note: You do not need to be the vehicle owner to perform this search. Anyone can request a CoR for any registered vehicle in Kenya — it is a public record. Buyers, sellers, lawyers, insurance companies, and financiers all use this service regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a motor vehicle copy of records in Kenya?

To get an official motor vehicle Copy of Records (CoR) in Kenya, you can either visit an NTSA office in person or request it through the NTSA eCitizen portal online. However, the online process requires an active eCitizen account, M-Pesa payment integration, and navigating a multi-step portal that many people find confusing.

The easiest way is to use MyCyber — just WhatsApp us the vehicle’s number plate or chassis number, pay our KSh 750 service fee, and we obtain the official CoR from NTSA and send it directly to your email within 10-15 minutes. No account, no queuing, no hassle.

How do I get a copy of my logbook from NTSA?

Getting a copy of your logbook details from NTSA involves requesting a Copy of Records (CoR) from the NTSA eCitizen system. The CoR is the official NTSA document that contains all the same information as your physical logbook — owner details, vehicle specifications, registration history, and encumbrance status.

You can get it through MyCyber without any eCitizen account. Just send us your number plate on WhatsApp, pay KSh 750 via M-Pesa, and we send you the CoR document to your email within 10-15 minutes. This works whether you have lost your logbook, need a duplicate for legal purposes, or need to verify the logbook of a vehicle you are buying.

How do I check my logbook online in Kenya?

To check your logbook online in Kenya, you use the NTSA eCitizen portal at ecitizen.go.ke. Once logged in, navigate to the NTSA section and select “Motor Vehicle Search.” You will need to enter the registration number and pay the government search fee via M-Pesa.

If you would rather not deal with the portal yourself — which many Kenyans find difficult — MyCyber does this for you. We log in, run the search, and send you the full results including the official printable CoR to your email within 10-15 minutes. Cost: KSh 750 total, all fees included.

How do I check my car details on the NTSA portal?

To check car details on the NTSA portal, follow these steps:

  1. Go to ecitizen.go.ke and create or log into your eCitizen account
  2. Find and select the NTSA (National Transport and Safety Authority) service
  3. Click on “Motor Vehicle Search” or “Copy of Records”
  4. Enter the vehicle’s registration number or chassis number
  5. Pay the government fee via M-Pesa
  6. Download or view your results

If you encounter any difficulty at any step — including eCitizen registration, M-Pesa payment errors, or portal loading issues — WhatsApp MyCyber and we handle everything for you for a flat KSh 750 service fee.

How long does it take to get the vehicle search results?

Through MyCyber, most motor vehicle owner searches are completed within 10 to 15 minutes of receiving your payment confirmation. The NTSA portal occasionally experiences delays, but we monitor your request and keep you updated on WhatsApp throughout. You receive the official CoR document to your email and a key-details summary via WhatsApp.

Can I search for a vehicle I do not own?

Yes. A motor vehicle Copy of Records is a public record — anyone can request it for any registered vehicle in Kenya. You do not need to be the owner. Buyers, lawyers, insurance companies, finance institutions, and private individuals all routinely request CoRs for vehicles they are investigating. This is the standard due diligence step before any vehicle transaction in Kenya.

What if the vehicle is not found on the NTSA system?

If a vehicle cannot be found using the registration number you provided, we will inform you immediately on WhatsApp and assist you to try alternative search options, such as the chassis number. If the vehicle is genuinely not registered in the NTSA system, that is itself important information — and we will advise you accordingly before you proceed with any purchase or transaction.

Is it safe to share my vehicle registration number with you?

Completely safe. A vehicle registration number (number plate) is visible to the public — it is displayed on the vehicle itself. Sharing it with us carries no personal risk. We use it solely to conduct the NTSA search on your behalf. For the CoR delivery we also need your email address, which is kept strictly confidential and not shared with any third party.

What does the NTSA vehicle search tell me about caveats and encumbrances?

The official Copy of Records from NTSA will show whether a vehicle has any registered encumbrances — including bank or financial institution caveats (indicating the vehicle is used as loan collateral), court orders restricting transfer, or other legal claims. This is one of the most important checks to do before buying a used vehicle in Kenya, as a car under caveat cannot legally be transferred to a new owner until the encumbrance is cleared.

Can I use this service from outside Nairobi?

Absolutely. MyCyber serves all of Kenya — Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Nyeri, Machakos, and every other county. Since everything is done via WhatsApp and the results are sent to your email, your physical location makes no difference at all. The service works exactly the same whether you are in Nairobi CBD or in a remote part of the country.

How do I pay for the vehicle search service?

Payment is via M-Pesa Lipa na M-Pesa Buy Goods and Services. Our team will provide you with the till number during your WhatsApp conversation. Once you pay KSh 750 and forward us the M-Pesa confirmation SMS (or just tell us the transaction code), we begin processing your search immediately. There are no other payment methods required and no hidden charges.

How do I check car ownership in Kenya by number plate?

To check car ownership in Kenya by number plate, you need to run a motor vehicle search on the NTSA eCitizen portal using the vehicle’s registration number. The system will return the registered owner’s full name, ID number, and complete vehicle details. Through MyCyber, simply WhatsApp us the number plate, pay KSh 750, and we send you the official Copy of Records to your email within 10-15 minutes — no eCitizen account needed.

How do I find a car owner using a number plate in Kenya?

Finding a car owner using a number plate in Kenya is done through the official NTSA eCitizen system. Enter the number plate (e.g. KDN 123X) into the motor vehicle search, and the CoR will reveal the registered owner’s full name, ID number, and address. MyCyber does this search on your behalf — just send us the plate number on WhatsApp and we handle the rest.

Is there a free Kenya number plate search online?

The official NTSA number plate search in Kenya is not free — it requires payment of a government fee via M-Pesa on the eCitizen portal. There is no legitimate free vehicle ownership search in Kenya; any site claiming to offer one without payment is not returning official NTSA records. Through MyCyber, the total cost is KSh 750, which covers all government fees and our service fee with no hidden charges.

Common Vehicle Search Scenarios in Kenya

It’s the most authoritative document for verifying ownership and checking legal status before buying a used car in Kenya.

Use MyCyber to access this information quickly without navigating the government portal yourself.

eCitizen vehicle search and the Copy of Records
