Step-By-Step Guide to Registration

Accessing the TIMSVIRL Website

Upon opening the site, ensure the username, password, and security code options are available on the right-hand side. If they aren't visible, refreshing the page until they appear should solve the problem.

Choosing Your Account Type

Click on the 'Register Account' option and select the type of registration you wish to pursue. For individual account creation, you can choose between 'Kenya Citizen' or 'Alien (Foreign Resident).'

Providing Personal Details

Enter your national ID as the serial number and click the 'search' button. This step allows the system to retrieve your government-registered data. If your ID serial number isn't found, you may need to visit any Huduma Center or NTSA offices for assistance.

Enter your mother's maiden name and KRA pin in their respective fields. Please note that you should only enter one name at a time. Make sure the spelling is correct.

Account Verification

After the pin confirmation, a new page will open where you'll provide your physical address, email address, and phone number. These will be verified by entering a code sent to your email and phone number separately.

Completion of Registration

After submitting all the required details, await a message on your registered phone number. This message contains your username (usually the ID number) and password. Use these details to log in, enter the code sent to your mobile, and proceed to log in.

Old TIMS NTSA Account Holder's Registration and Activation

Accessing Your Account

Enter your ID number under the username option. The system will display some information about your account, including part of your phone number.

If the number displayed is accessible, select the 'send code' option for the system to send a verification code to your mobile phone. Enter this one-time verification code, then proceed to change your password. Now, you can log into your account with your new credentials.
