KUCHING (Feb 12): Effective Feb 10, Malaysian owners of private vehicles can use the Digital Road Tax (e-LKM) and Digital Driving Licence (e-LMM) via the JPJ Public Portal or the MyJPJ phone application.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that drivers can now just show or screenshot their online data instead of having the physical road tax stickers on their vehicles. Similarly, their driving licence can also be accessed online.

In his Facebook page, Loke posted a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) to answer a few questions regarding the digitalisation of the road tax and driving licence.
Is it mandatory to use MyJPJ for digital road tax and driving licence?
No. It is one of the only options to get a digital copy for road tax and driver’s licence.
If I could not download the MyJPJ app now and could not show the digital road tax, will I get a summons?
No. The enforcement authorities can check the status of road tax and driving licence in the system using their own gadgets.
Do I still need to pay road tax and driver’s licence after the validity period ends?
Yes. You are still required to pay for your road tax and licence.
What about elderly people who do not have smartphones and areas where there is no internet?
As the digital format is not mandatory, you can still get a road tax sticker and a physical licence from JPJ, if necessary.
How about for a vehicle that is not driven by its owner?
For those who are not driving their own vehicle, they can print out the digital road tax and keep it in the vehicle. However, if you cannot show proof, it is not a crime. The enforcement can still check for details on their gadgets.
Any questions can be emailed to [email protected] or call the JPJ hotline on 03-27242522.
In a press conference in Putrajaya on Friday, Loke made the announcement about the digitalisation initiative.
He said that in line with the initiative, the provision under Section 20 of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) where “each vehicle registration licence must be affixed and displayed on the relevant vehicle will no longer be enforced for the category of owners under the first phase.
“This exemption will be gazetted under the authority given to the Minister of Transport under Section 127(1)(b) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
“This initiative will be implemented in stages, with the first phase involving individual private vehicles, including motorcycles taking into account system readiness and public acceptance of its implementation before expanding its implementation to the next phases,” he said, while welcoming all drivers and vehicle owners to join the digital platform.
However, vehicles registered for e-hailing services, goods and company services will still have to adhere to the normal procedures for now.
Other vehicles as well as non-Malaysian drivers and vehicle owners, and international driving license holders still need a physical copy of their documents.
