How to Download and Verify Your NTSA eLogbook 

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) officially rolled out digital logbooks on June 10, 2026, as it phases out the current paper certificates.

An eLogbook is the digital version of the traditional vehicle logbook issued by NTSA. Instead of receiving a physical document, vehicle owners can access and download their registration certificate through the NTSA portal.

The digital system is designed to reduce paperwork, improve efficiency, and make it easier for vehicle owners to verify the authenticity of ownership records.

NTSA has clarified that all logbook applications submitted on or after June 10 will be issued as digital eLogbooks, while applications lodged before that date and still under processing will continue to receive physical logbooks.
