The National Construction Authority (NCA) is mandated to register contractors and to keep a list of builders permitted to work in Kenya as part of a strategy to weed out rogue contractors in the country.

Below is the standard NCA accreditation process.

1. Visit the NCA website: www.nca.go.ke. Click on the ‘Construction Workers’ tab and then click on ‘Full Accreditation’.

Registration

2. Click on ‘Register’ and create an account by filling in the required information in every field.

Log into your account with your ID or Passport Number and the Password used during the registration process.

New Application

3. Click ‘New Application’, then click on ‘Accreditation’. Fill in the required details, upload the documents, and then click ‘Submit’.

Payment

4. Click ‘New Application’, select ‘Accreditation’, fill in the necessary details, upload the required documents, and then click ‘Submit’.

A confirmation text message will be sent to the mobile phone number that one used during registration.

You will be asked to fill in the bank slip or the M-Pesa transaction number if you made a payment.

The NCA Accreditation Certificate will be automatically generated into your online account once this step is completed and verified.
