The eCitizen portal is a free online service that enables Kenyans to access government services and make payments online. It is now easy to acquire a marriage certificate, search for a business name, get a passport or Visa via the eCitizen website.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) enables motorists to renew their driving license online by following a few simple steps.
