In reply to lynn. P (probational license) should not lapse 1 year. CDL shouldn't lapse over 3 years.

hi there,

Hope you can advice – Ive gotten few people telling me that expired license are only ‘valid’ for one year now ( instead of 3 years) for renewal.. Is this true? Tried finding info, yet nothing says about this.

In reply to phoenix. You can get a police report for RM2. You can certainly claim damage from the motorcyclists insurance company.

In reply to Farouk. Looks as if you'll have to apply for a Malaysian driving license.

In reply to Cikgu Yap.

Cikgu Yap,

Actually I was never detained, I was making a report to the police that my license was lost.

As my license is now considered lost, my question to you is – do you know what are the possible options for me…for example?

1. Do I have to apply for a fresh Malaysian license (eg starting with a learner’s license), or

2. May I appeal for a full license – subject to their approval?

Thanks again Cikgu Yap.

In reply to Farouk. As far as I'm concerned, US driving license can be used here. Anyway, the authority which detained you should have returned your driving license. Without it, you cannot convert it into Malaysian license.

Dear Cikgu Yap,

I had recently lost my US issued driving license here. While making the police report, I was informed that actually the US license is invalid here and that i was supposed to have converted it to a Malaysian driving license and that I was lucky not to have been stopped (well..ignorance is bliss).

Now that I’m only equipped with a police report, would you know what my options are? Do I go to JPJ to appeal for a full Malaysian license, or do I start from scratch and head over to a driving school and file fresh application for a Malaysian license?

Thanks for your time Cikgu Yap
