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. :)

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?

I am a Malaysian holding a Singapore driving license. When I went to JPJ recently to apply for the conversion back to a Malaysian license, I was informed that I needed a letter/document from the Singapore Traffic Police. This document is not stated as a requirement for conversion in the JPJ website. Do you know what letter/document they are referring to? Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

Certainly. Australian licenses can be converted into Malaysian domestic licenses.

Counter 12 or 13 of J.P.J. Selangor in Kampung Jawa, Klang, for instance, caters for such conversion. Other counters throughout the country should likewise have such similar counters too.

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.

As advised, go to J.P.J. in Putrajaya. Your driving school cannot help you.

Please take note “P” must be changed into C.D.L. not later than 1 year. In your case, your “P” has crossed the 1 year limit allowed. Please contact J.P.J. in Putrajaya for further advice.
