No physical road tax for individual private vehicles from Apr 18 to May 18 due to supplier printing issues?

ARroadtax.my has posted on Facebook what appears to be an April 17 memo from the road transport department‘s (JPJ) vehicle licencing director. It seems the physical road tax supplier’s hologram printer is down (which could take two weeks to repair), and as of April 16, there were only 40,000 pieces of physical road tax stock left, which cannot satisfy a month’s demand nationwide.

The JPJ director-general has therefore agreed that no physical road taxes will be printed for individual private vehicles belonging to Malaysian citizens from April 18 to May 18, except for the purposes of going out of the country. You can of course renew digitally on MyJPJ, and if you absolutely do need a physical road tax (windscreen display is no longer required by law), you can go and get it printed after May 18.

All other vehicles (individual private vehicles owned by non-citizens, company private vehicles, commercial vehicles, goods vehicles etc) that do not have digital road taxes on MyJPJ can continue to print physical road taxes during this period.

BTW, if you want to renew your vehicle insurance and road tax you can use our Paul Tan Insurance service with a 10% rebate and instalment payment options.
