The Department of Motor Traffic (DMT) has urged the public not to deal with unauthorised brokers operating near its offices when obtaining departmental services.

The Department warned that people who use such intermediaries risk losing money and important personal documents.

It noted that appointments for one-day services can be made through official online platforms and telephone services.

Documents for ordinary vehicle ownership transfers can also be submitted at District Secretariats and Divisional Secretariats, in addition to the DMT head office in Narahenpita.

The public has been advised to follow official procedures and seek guidance only from authorised officers.
