    I am living in Australia.I am holding Malaysian p license valid until 22nd November.

    Is it possible to renew my license to full licence before the expiry date because with Malaysian full license i can drive in Australia. Could you please advise regarding this matter. Thank you.

      Dear Shobanasymon,

      You have to wait til 22nd November before you can convert your “P” to C.D.L. (Competent Driver’s License). You have to send your “P” license back to Malaysia to get it converted.

      Ask your family member, friend or runner to help you with the conversion.

      Enjoy the Raya break first. You can change your C.D.L. after Raya. A runner, driving school or you yourself can go to J.P.J. office.

      For Cars, the renewal is RM30 for 1 year.

Must you require to bring the original expired copy along that has the picture with the renew slip or would the renewed slip would be good enough when travelling(driving)? Cause I believe I have not been able to find my original copy and I am only holding the renewed slip.
    What would I do if I need it? Go back to JPJ and request a new one?
    Please reply anyone. Thanks

      Hello there,

      I have a Malaysian driving license with my picture on it (the original driving license) from 2001 -2003. My “P” License was from 1999-2001. After 2003, i have a renewal from the post office which of providing me with a renewal slip from year 2003-2008, and recently a second renewal slip which runs from year 2008 to 2013.

      However, is that possible to get a new photo ID driving license for the current running period? This is because i am taking my driving license in Australia now, and they need proof of the past photo ID license together with the renewal slips and also a current photo ID license to show that i have been driving for more then 7 years. This is so when i pass my Australia’s driving test, i would not need to go through the “P” phase in Australia thus getting the full license straight away. Should i just go to JPJ to get a new current photo ID license ? Thanks in advance. /cheers

        Dear Sky,

        You should now be holding C.D.L. license for year 2001 – 2003.

        2003 – 2008 you have a renewal slip (5 years). You also have a renewed slip for 2008 – 2013.

        You could go to J.P.J. office to get a new license / new photo for your license 2008 – 2013.

        This would help certify the number of years you have been driving.

    I know this is an old post but I hope you can help me.
    I’m a citizen and have a Malaysian license which I believe (I’m not sure the copy I have is the latest) might have expired for almost 4 years.
    I have been in the US for the last 10 years and still is. I can’t recall if I did renew or not after that expiration, is there any way to find out?

    If it is in fact expired for 3.5 years, is there any way I can avoid starting the whole process all over again? I mean like proving that I was out of the country or something. If not, would it be possible to use my US license to apply for a new Malaysian one?

      A Malaysian holding a C.D.L. can apply for a Singapore driving license. You can get a certified copy of your Malaysian license in any state J.P.J. office for a sum of RM10.

      The above can only be submitted to Singapore authorities to get a Singapore license. Under Seksyen 29 (b) APJ ’87, the Malaysian license will then become null and void.

      A Singapore driving license can be used to drive a Malaysian registered vehicle in Malaysia.

      I symphatise with your problem. You could also engage a third party to help solve your problem. But find a reliable one.

      Regards “calls”, all official complaints are supposed to be in “black and white”.

      You could also use correspondence. But this would take too much time. So, this method is not to be recommended.

      I have recommended 3 – 4 ways which you could solve your predicament. It’s up to you to choose the one which suits your the best.

      You need a confirmation letter from the Singapore authorities you have completed your contract there. As you said yourself, J.P.J. wants a document from Singapore Traffic Police.

      Either should be of use. My advice is, secure both of the above. Concerning J.P.J. web site, could it have been an oversight on your part?

        Hi Cigku Yap,

        Thanks for the reply. I have checked again, the following are the required documents listed in the JPJ website (in the FAQ section for the conversion of Singapore/foreign licenses) :

        1. Identity card/Passport (original and copy)
        2. Original and copy of work permit and foreign driving license
        3. Dependant Pass (for an applicant accompanying the wife/husband)
        4. 1 color photograph (25 mm x 32 mm)
        5. Translation of the foreign driving license from the relevant foreign embassy (if details of the license are in languages other than English)

        I had brought along items 1 to 4 to JPJ. 5 is not relevant as the Singapore license is in English.

        There is no mention of any document from the Singapore Traffic Police. Also any idea what sort of document is required from them (e.g. that I have a good driving record)?

        Thanks again for your help. :)

      According to regulations, a P that has expired more than 1 year becomes Null and Void. Usually in such cases, JPJ require a person to sit Part I (slope, side parking and 3 point turn) and Part II (jalan raya) all over again.

    I refer back to Joseph Ooi’s question and would just like to confirm the answer. If I ask my mother or husband to renew my license at the post office while I’m away, all they need is my old license? What about my MyKad? Are there any forms that need to be filled up and can I get them online?

    My license expiring in January 2011, but I want to convert to international driving license in August 2010 (need to drive in singapore after that).

    heard that international driving license need to have at least 1 year before expiry, so can i renew my license (which is still 4 months to expiry) now? how?

      Your P cannot be converted to IDL. If you want to driver in Singapore, your present P should be acceptable for use there.

      Indian license is usable in Malaysia. Ideally, have it translated to English or Bahasa Malaysia.

        Does it only applicable for 3 months only? what happen next then? have seen the Indian license and it written in English, but they dont dare to drive here due to 3 month rulling. Or maybe just advise them to JPJ counter by bring the existing Driving License, Passport and visa. is it?

        Yup, really know them very well..work with them.

          After expiry of 3 month period, and if you want to continue driving, then you have to take steps to test and get a Malaysian driving license.

      When you renew with MyEG, the renewal slip is provided. Attached it to your original license to show to the police. It’s valid. If you want a one piece license, go to any JPJ office.

      As far as I am aware, by converting your Malaysian license to Singapore driving license, your Malaysian license no longer needs to be renewed. Give up your Singapore license when you no longer need it to get back your Malaysian license later. However, you could always check up with the JPJ for clarification.

    Dear Cikgu Yap,

    I was glad that i found your ‘chamber’. The informations were very helpful to me. But i still hv question to ask. Briefly, i’m holding a ‘P’ license for B2 & D class and will be expired on 1/10/2011 (for both). Last year i got parking summons for B2 and speeding summons for D, which i had settled it within the stipulated period. Early this month i got another summon for the D for not putting ‘P’ sticker. On the summons the JPJ’s officer wrote that I need to attend before Magistrate on 18/8/2011 but the offence is compoundable and I need to settle it on or before 18/7/2011. My understanding is if I settle the summons on or before 18/7/2011, I do not need to attend before Magistrate on 18/8/2011 but my worries now is of course the issue of suspension of my ‘P’ license. Should I attend the magistrate court instead and delay the matter until I can convert my ‘P’ to ‘CDL’. Secondly, my understanding upon perusing your comments stated above, when ‘P’ license holder settled their summons within time period they will not get any demerits, so is it correct to say that for the last year’s summons I have no demerits as I had settled it within time so is it also prudent to settle my new summons on or before 18/7/2011 to avoid from getting any demerits. What is you view on this. TQ in advance.

    • Cikgu Yap May 22, 2011 at 8:30 am - Reply

      The problem with your summons is that you have 2 separate summons. The speeding summons, if over 40 km.h, may get your demerits even if it is settled. However, your summons for not affixing P stickers, might likely save you from getting demerit points, as their latest decision was made whereby those who settle their summons early will not be affected by demerit points at all.

    Hello Cikgu Yap, recently received Notis Polis 170A ; apparently for Kesalahan No.2 – causing unnecessary obstruction on a road. Well, I parked my car by the roadside with a single white line. There was no No Parking signage or yellow line(s). To me this Kesalahan No.2 thing is kinda ambigious ; it is up to the officer to interpret. Did my parked car actually caused the traffic to be stucked and not moving at all ? What constitues an obstruction ? People have parked at that road for years without any incident, and suddenly this Kesalahan No.2. I called the IPD, but was told that all roads, including those in taman-taman perumahan, are not supposed to have parked vehicles, even without No Parking / Yellow line signs. Well, if this is the case, then I guess my stupid question would be this ; why the need to put up No Parking sign and draw yellow lines when no one is supposed to park on any road at all ? Almost argued with that police fella on this logic. Anyway, hope Cikgu Yap can enlighten us all. Many thanks.

    I want to renew my Malaysian probationary driving license (PDL), however I am not in the country, and therefore cannot visit the next JPJ office. What can I do?

    Is there any way to receive a renewal slip stating that my license is renewed so that when I go back to Germany in February I can do whats necessary to convert it to a German license. Or a paper confirming that I have a license.

    Please can you help me, since I do not want to redo everything again and time is limited for me to fly to Kuala Lumpur.

    Looking forward to hear back from you as soon as possible!

      Looks as if you have a poor understanding of licenses. PDL is a temporary license, hence cannot be converted as you so wish.

      • Tiffany November 28, 2014 at 10:13 pm - Reply

        I understand that I cannot convert my license directly into a German one, I still have to do the practical and theoretical test, however I don’t have to do everything again. Therefore it is important for me to receive a renewal slip from the JPJ office, however I am not in Malaysia. What can I do?? Is there no way to get a renew slip for my PDL license via Email or Post, so that when I do my license in Germany I have proof that it is now extended.

          Try writing in to Road Transport Department regarding your request. Hope they will oblige.

    Hi.
    I have a P drivers license which expires on the 28th of February 2015, But I’m going to Australia to study at the end of December 2014. Can I send my license back to my family while I am in Australia so that they can convert it to a CDL license at the jpj office for me? Or must I be present at the jpj office for thumbprint scan or anything like that?

    Hi Cikgu Yap. I’m looking for a school in which I can obtain a driving license for auto cars. I live in Petaling Jaya. I have tried contacting a couple of major schools in the area but none of them have auto cars so far. Any help on this is much appreciated. Thank you!

    Why Malaysia driving licence is not being approve in other country like australia and singapore?

    • Cikgu Yap January 10, 2015 at 5:09 pm - Reply

      You must be referring to Malaysian licences being converted into Singapore or Australian ones. The ‘right’ of conversion lies solely with the above countries themselves!

    HI cikgu Yap

    May I ask if I want to upgrade my P license to full license, can my friends or family do on behalf of me because I’m not in the country.
    Am I need to pass all required documents to them? Documents must be original copies? Must do in JPJ office?

    • Cikgu Yap January 31, 2015 at 9:27 pm - Reply

      Yes, friends/family can assist! Photostate usable. JPJ or post office possible to do conversion.

    My P license will be expiring soon next month, I just want to ask do i have to bring a picture of myself or any other documents? And also what kind of saman will not allow me to proceed with my license renewal?

    Thank you in advance.

      Summons will probably prohibit you renewing. You’ll need a photo too.

    Good day,

    Through all the posts mentioned above, I’m quite sure that parents can renew your p license on your behalf if you’re studying overseas? The thing is when my dad went to jpj they rejected it and say that they need me in person as it’s a P license. I’ve also email them for verification , it’s been the third email but still no reply. Can you please please kindly advice what else can I do? Thank you in advance.

    My probabitonary liscense (P license) expired so I hand over my license to a driving school to do the renewal. It costs me 165 ($15 = gaji). But when I went to collect my license, they say I need to pay $15 more because my p license has been expired for more than a week. Do I really need to pay that 15 bucks? From what I remember, I don’t think my p license has expired for more than a week.. I think it was just 2 or 3 days after the expiry.

      My son is working in California now and he recently applied to renew his CDL through MyEG. But this duplicate license without photo has been lost during postal delivery. Please advise me what he can do to renew his CDL. He shall come back in late May this year. Must he report to the police about the loss?

      Thank you.

      Passed license expires after not being renewed for over 3 years. IC shouldn’t be a problem though.

    Thank you.

      The directive is correct. Go to any Road Transport office. Bring your original license and one copy colour photo. You can renew for 1 – 5 years.

    Thank you for the sharing about the renewing driving license, really helpful.
    I would like to renew my CDL online. as you mentioned just click on the Driving License Renewal link on the top right at the web site…. But I only found language and log in box on the top right of the website. My CDL will expire on 15.12.2015, if I renew on 1 Oct, the date will be starting from 1.10.2015 – 30.09.2015? or from my original expiry date on 15.12.2015 – 14.12.2015? looking forward to your reply, thank you so much :)

    Hi Cikgu Yap,

    My boyfriend has a P license that haven’t change to CDP for few years due to outstation. From my understanding, he needs to contact Putrajaya to redo his Part 1 & 2 test. May I know what number or where exactly to look for the officer if he wish to do so? Or can he contact his nearest driving school to ask them to let him do part 1 & 2 test?

    Thanks

    Hi Cikgu Yap,

    I am a P License holder. Lately my brother have been using my car (which is under my name) and found out that I had 3 speeding fines issued when I log into myeg. I’m afraid that my license will be suspended. Is there a way to solve my problem? Would be really grateful for your advice.

    Thanks.

    Hi Cikgu Yap,

    I am a P license holder and now currently living and working abroad. In your post, you have mentioned that to renew a P license, it’s not possible to do it online and would need to refer back to JPJ. Three weeks after getting my license, I moved to Spain and didn’t really had the chance to drive in Malaysia, thus I do not think I have any fines. I don’t think it would be possible for me to return to Malaysia just to renew my driving license since I’m working, I wonder if you know how I could go about on renewing my driving license from overseas. My license will expire in August, so for now I would like to prepare myself if there is no other choice but to return to Malaysia.

    Thank you!

      Just send your P license back to Malaysia. Ask a family member or a friend to renew the license on your behalf.

      There is a grace period of 1 year to renew your PDL to CDL. You can do your license conversion when you get your IC back from Australia.

    To be noted – not written here – that myeg does not do renewal of driving license since Jan 1, 2018 as the old laminated driving license is no more delivered (only the MyKad type driving license from now on). For this new one, you need to go to JPJ, not sure if you can do it in pos malaysia offices yet

    Dear Cik Yap,

    I am a foreigner with a Malaysia ‘P’ Driving License due to expire end of Aug 2018 (from Sep 2016). As I am now studying overseas, I am unable to return to Malaysia to obtain the new license (that is, no record of traffic offenses).

    Is it possible to send my current due to expire ‘P’ license back to Malaysia for a third party to obtain the new license on my behalf and if so, must this be done at JPJ office or can it be done via post office. Is a photo and photocopy of passport (or any other documents) be required for this purpose.

    HI Cikgu Yap,

    I am holding my expired Singapore Driving License (Expired date 17 Jul 2018) and my Malaysia Driving License expired 27/1/2015 . Since I am not working in Singapore now, so am I able to reapply my Malaysia Driving License without walk in to JPJ in person. Because I am out of Malaysia for long term .
