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.

I want to change my P to C.D.L, but the date of expiry is on 19Sept which fall on saturday and the rest of the day are RAYA. How can I go to change to C.D.L?? And how much for 1 year renew at JPJ?
Dear Fifi,
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.

I’m owning a ‘P’ license which is already expired.Is there any deadline to change to full license?I heard it’s 1 year.
Dear Dinesh,
You have 1 year after your “P” expired to change into C.D.L.

I have came across this “1 year grace period” in the jpj.gov.my website, but it doesn’t state whether we are allowed to drive.
Dear Chew,
I am unable to comprehend your statement ” 1 year grace period”. What actually does it refer to?
Hi,
Regarding about license, I’ve renew my license from the post office. 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
Dear Azlin,
The copy with a photo is your original license. Having only the renewal slip isn’t good enough!
If you can’t locate it, contact me again for further advice.

Hi Cikgu Yap,
My license expired last year, my citizen now has changed to singaporean. Can i still renew it via online?
Thanks. I managed to retrieve my license information. I think should be able to renew the license with my msia ic….
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.

Hi, I was staying in Malaysia till August 2009 and now shifted to France, I have a Malaysian License which is expired in September 2009. Can I renew it and if yes, what is the procedure? what documents are needed?
Dear Silpa,
You can try using the http://www.myeg.com portal to renew your license online. You can check with them if they’ll send to oversea.
If not, get them send to your family or relative’s house in Malaysia and ask them to post it to you.

Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to know that can I renew the license evenif I don’t have Malaysian Visa? Do I need to send my original license? and in the above website what should I put in category?
Dear Shilpa,
I think you can renew the license even if you don’t have Malaysian Visa. You do not need to send your original license. If you’re a Malaysian, select the Citizen of Malaysia category. If you are facing problems with MyEG, please contact their support staff.

Dear Cikgu Yap,
My license has expired for around 4 years. If i have to reapply to JPJ, what are the procedures and what do I need to do?
Do I need to resit the tests?
Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you :-)
Dear KY,
Your license has become null and void. Go to Putrajaya to see J.P.J. officials there. You have to resit practical tests – Part II (Parking / Slope) and Part III (Road Test).
You will be given 60 days to sit for the above special test. Get a driving school or institute to assist you.
thank you very much for your reply. i shall get to that immediately!
Im not sure if i renewed my license or not…though im pretty sure i did… how and where can i check?
Dear Cikgu Yap,
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?
Thanks!
James
Dear James,
Forget all about your Malaysian license. It’s beyond redemption. Get your US license certified by the issuing authority. Next, go to any J.P.J. office, preferably in Putrajaya to get it converted to Malaysian licence.
Bring along, your identification papers, 1 colour photo and the original US license.
Thanks for the helpful advice!
Have a great day.
James
