How to get digital driving license in Kenya: Many Kenyans have been asking how they can acquire the new digital driving license. So far, the National Transport and Safety Authority has issued over 7,000 digital driving licenses to Kenyans.
The new generation e-driving licence is loaded with points that get deducted every time a motorist commits a traffic offence. Any licence that is emptied of points is ultimately withdrawn from use.
“At the moment, no preference is being given to anyone in the issuance of the licence. As long as you have the required documents and are qualified, the new generation driving licences are available in any of our centres,” says NTSA
The digital licences, widely used in the West, are loaded with 20 points that are deducted progressively at a rate proportional to the offence committed.
