The Department of Motor Traffic (DMT) has issued a special public notice advising service seekers not to fall victim to brokers operating near its premises.
In a press release dated November 10, 2026, the department highlighted that online and telephone appointment systems are already available for one-day services. Additionally, vehicle transfer documents can be submitted through District Secretariats and Divisional Secretariats in addition to the main office in Narahenpita.
Observing that members of the public who bypass official procedures face a high risk of being misled by unauthorized middlemen loitering outside the department, the DMT urged the public to strictly follow official methods and consult only authorized officers. The department further warned against engaging in any transactions with brokers, emphasizing that doing so poses a serious risk of losing money and valuable documents. (Newswire)
