If you wish to have multiple vehicles that feature matching, rhyming number plates, it is possible.
In an interview, a representative from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) clarified that motorists in Kenya have the option to apply for three distinct categories of number plates.
Firstly, any individual may request a standard number plate for a fee of Ksh 3,050 via their eCitizen account.
In contrast, a special number plate, which allows for a selection of specific letters or numbers, is available for Ksh 30,000.
Lastly, a personalized number plate permits individuals to create a unique design, which may include their names or the names of their businesses, and this option comes with an application fee of Ksh 1 million.
Notably, former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and ex-footballer McDonald Mariga are well-known for having their names displayed on their number plates.
The NTSA representative said a car owner can either have a normal number plate, a specialised number plate or a personalised number plate.
“For instance, if you want to maintain 024R, which is a preference that has a meaning to you such as your birthday, you should apply for a special number plate which costs Ksh 30,000
“If the number you are applying for has already been taken, the system will show you it is not available. You will decide to wait for the following series of number plates,” he said.
