RCL Africa offers comprehensive support for vehicle ownership transfers and duty updates, ensuring a straightforward and compliant process for buyers, sellers, and individuals entitled to duty exemptions. Whether you’re buying a second-hand vehicle, transferring ownership from a diplomat, or updating duty status, our expert team streamlines each step, working directly with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to make ownership transfer as seamless as possible.
Why Timely Vehicle Ownership Transfer Matters
Under Kenyan law, buyers of second-hand vehicles are required to initiate the transfer of ownership within 14 days of purchase. Promptly completing this transfer not only ensures compliance but also protects both buyer and seller from potential liabilities or disputes.
At RCL Africa, we handle a range of transfer scenarios, including:
- Civilian-to-Civilian Transfers: Simplifying ownership transfer between private individuals, ensuring all documentation is accurate and promptly submitted to NTSA.
- Diplomatic Transfers: Facilitating Diplomatic-to-Diplomatic and Diplomatic-to-Civilian transfers, with careful attention to the unique documentation and procedures required for diplomatic vehicles.
- Government-to-Civilian Transfers: Assisting with transfers from government entities to private ownership, including duty update processes as necessary.
