But what if you hit a snag at registration point because of your ID Serial number?
Possible reasons and Solutions
You are using a lost ID
Each time you lose your ID the first thing that comes into your mind is to replace it. Once you have replaced your ID you will always retain your ID number but the serial number is rendered null and void and a new serial number is generated. In some cases after your long lost ID resurfaces most of us don’t surrender it to the Registrar of Persons. Using the lost ID may not work while looking for some services and NTSA TIMS account registration is one of them
Your ID Cannot be Configured In TIMS System
There are cases where you have never replaced your ID or you are using the current/latest ID but still the serial number can’t be identified by the system. In this case visit the nearest NTSA office for assistance before you can use it to create a TIMS account.
