The Initiative of Driving License Renewal via MyJPJ App
Starting 1 February 2024, Malaysians can renew their driving license using the Road Transport Department’s MyJPJ app.
Transport Minister YB Anthony Loke announced that whoever opted for the digital driving license, aka the e-Lesen Memandu Malaysia (e-LMM) will get a rebate of RM5.00 upon renewal. This offer is only valid until 31 December 2024.
Furthermore, road users can now drive without presenting their physical driving license and road tax. Since 10 February 2023, all Malaysian private vehicle owners can use the JPJ Public Portal or MyJPJ phone application to present the Digital Road Tax (e-LKM) and Digital Driving License (e-LMM). Even a screenshot of their online data works too and all these can be accessed and checked online by the authorities.
