Driving licence in Malaysia

Driving licence holders are subject to all traffic rules stated in the Road Transport Act 1987.

After the 2 years, the licence holders may go to Road Transport Department (JPJ) to attend KPP01 again.

A grace period of 3 years is given to renew the license before the licence holder may need to restart the whole driving lesson procedures.

Only applicants with Malaysian nationality or permanent resident with age not less than 21 years old and have a satisfactory level of health are allowed to apply for vocational licence.

[9][10][1] MyJPJ app was introduced by the Road Transport Department in February 2023 for license to display their digital driving licence and road tax on their mobile devices as an alternative to carrying around their physical copies.

On February 10, it was announced that Malaysian-owned private vehicle owners will no longer be required to display their physical road tax on their windshield or carry it around.
