Introduction
Losing your roadtax can be stressful — especially when it’s time for renewal or during a JPJ roadblock. But don’t panic. You don’t need to file a police report. JPJ only requires a few basic documents and fingerprint verification to issue a new roadtax. This guide explains the exact steps to replace a lost roadtax quickly and how to check your insurance through BJAK to keep your coverage and NCD valid.
Step 1: Prepare the Required Documents
Before visiting JPJ, make sure you’ve prepared:
- Owner’s identification card (IC)
- A copy of your active insurance cover note (check or download easily via BJAK)
- Vehicle grant copy or digital details from MyJPJ
Tip: With BJAK, you can check your insurance status and NCD beforehand to avoid any mismatched details that could delay your application.
Step 2: Fill Out the Replacement Form at JPJ
Head to any JPJ branch or UTC counter and fill in the roadtax replacement form. It’s provided at the counter — you’ll just need to complete your vehicle and owner details.
Prefer to check your current roadtax status first? You can do so via the MyJPJ app before going to JPJ.
Step 3: Attend in Person for Fingerprint Verification
The registered vehicle owner must attend in person for fingerprint and signature verification. This safety measure prevents misuse of vehicle information or fraudulent applications.
Step 4: Pay the Roadtax Replacement Fee
The replacement fee varies by vehicle type:
| Vehicle Type | Roadtax Replacement Fee |
| Private Car | RM50 |
| Motorcycle | RM20 |
Step 5: Receive Your New Roadtax
Once the process is complete, JPJ will issue your new roadtax.
You can choose between:
- Digital roadtax: instantly available on the MyJPJ app (no extra fee).
- Physical roadtax: can be collected at JPJ or delivered to your home if you use third-party services such as BJAK (delivery fee around RM10).
Bonus Step: Keep a Digital Copy as Backup
To prevent losing it again:
- Save a digital copy of your roadtax on your phone.
- Use the BJAK Calculator to plan yearly renewals (insurance + roadtax together).
- Renew early through BJAK to skip queues and paperwork at JPJ.
Conclusion
Now you know — there’s no need for a police report if your roadtax is lost. Just prepare your IC, vehicle grant, and active insurance, then visit JPJ for replacement. Use BJAK to check your insurance, NCD, and total cost beforehand. The process is quick, legal, and stress-free when you’re prepared.
