The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has outlined how motorists can verify the authenticity of the electronic logbooks (eLogbooks) ahead of the June 10 rollout.<\/p>\n
In a notice on Friday, May 22, the NTSA says motorists and the public can instantly confirm whether an eLogbook is genuine or counterfeit by scanning the QR code printed on it.<\/p>\n
Once scanned, the authority says, the system generates real-time verification and validity details linked directly to the vehicle’s official record.<\/p>\n
“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 stated.<\/p>\n
After scanning the code and verification, the eLogbook will reveal the vehicle’s registration number, certificate number, and the status of the vehicle, whether it has been paid for or not.<\/p>\n
It will also include the make of the vehicle, the model, and the body type, as well as the colour of the vehicle, as revealed by NTSA.<\/p>\n
However, for users seeking more detailed information beyond basic verification, the authority stated that motorists must request a copy of the request search as provided by the law before such information can be released.<\/p>\n
Full motor vehicle records can only be accessed through a formal copy of records search request, in line with Section 5 of the Traffic Act (Cap 403), which governs disclosure of official vehicle data.<\/p>\n
“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),” it added.<\/p>\n
According to the authority, the QR-based system is part of its broader digital registry reforms aimed at reducing fraud, enhancing traceability of vehicle ownership, and improving access to transport data.<\/p>\n
NTSA is rolling out the digital logbooks, scrapping the traditional paper logbooks in a move that is seen as a way of digitising government services.<\/p>\n
It is expected to be rolled out on Wednesday, June 10, in what NTSA says will eliminate fraud that has largely been witnessed in the vehicle ownership process.<\/p>\n
The logbook will feature advanced security measures, including encryption and secure hashing, that will prevent forgery and unlawful alterations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
