Chama cha magari cha Kenya kinazindua kibali kipya cha kuendesha kimataifa

Chama cha magari cha Kenya (AA Kenya) kimezindua kibali kipya cha kuendesha kimataifa (IDP) mnamo Februari 25, 2026, ambacho kinawaruhusu Wakenya kuendesha kisheria katika nchi zaidi ya 150 bila kujaribu mtihani wa ndani au kuomba leseni ya kigeni.

Kibali hiki kipya, kilichoundwa upya kwa muundo wa pasipoti na vipengele vya usalama vilivyoboreshwa, kinatokana na kuongezeka kwa vibali ghushi vinavyosababisha Wakenya kushikwa nje ya nchi. AA Kenya inasema kuwa IDP hii ina uwezo wa uthibitisho wa kidijitali, kuruhusu mamlaka duniani kote kuthibitisha uhalali wake mara moja.

Zaidi ya milioni 5 za madereva walio na leseni nchini Kenya wanasihiwa kubadilisha leseni zao za ndani kuwa IDP hii, ambayo inagharimu Ksh12,000 kwa mwaka na inatambuliwa chini ya mikataba ya kimataifa ya trafiki barabarani. Inafaa kwa kazi, masomo na safari nje ya nchi, na inafungua fursa kwa Wakenya wanaotafuta kazi kama madereva katika nchi zaidi ya 150.

Ili kuhitimu, muomba lazima awe na leseni halali kutoka Shirika la Usafiri na Usalama wa Kitaifa (NTSA), awe ameendesha Kenya kwa angalau miaka miwili, na awe na umri wa miaka 18 au zaidi. Wanaweza kuomba kupitia matawi ya AA Kenya au lango la mtandaoni, na wanahitaji kuweka IDP na leseni asili ya Kenya wakati wote nje ya nchi.

Hati zinazohitajika ni pamoja na fomu iliyojazwa, picha mbili za saizi ya pasipoti zilizotiwa saini nyuma, nakala ya leseni ya kuendesha, na nakala ya kitambulisho cha taifa au pasipoti. Wanachama wa AA Kenya wanaweza kupata faida kulingana na aina ya ushirika wao, ikijumuisha kupunguza au kuondoa ada ya mwaka.
