Introduction
Forgot when your roadtax expires?
It’s easy to miss the date, especially if you renew your roadtax once a year. The good news is that you can check your roadtax expiry date online without waiting until it has expired.
Here are the easiest ways to check your roadtax status in Malaysia.
1. Check Your Roadtax Through MyJPJ
The MyJPJ app is one of the easiest ways to check your vehicle information.
After logging in, you can view your registered vehicle details and digital Motor Vehicle Licence (e-LKM).
The app can also show the validity information for your vehicle, making it easier to keep track of when your roadtax needs to be renewed.
If you have not installed MyJPJ yet, you can download it through the official JPJ channels.
2. Check Through JPJ’s Official Services
You can also use JPJ’s official online services to check vehicle and LKM information.
Depending on the service available, you may need to provide details such as your vehicle registration number or identification information.
For the most up-to-date LKM information, use JPJ’s official platforms.
3. Check Your Digital Roadtax
Malaysia now uses the digital Motor Vehicle Licence (e-LKM).
If your vehicle is registered under your name, you can access the digital LKM through MyJPJ.
This means you do not have to rely only on a physical roadtax sticker to know whether your LKM is still valid.
4. Check Your BJAK Renewal Records
If you renewed your car insurance or roadtax through BJAK, check your confirmation email or other renewal records.
These records can help you keep track of your previous renewal and policy details.
However, BJAK should not be treated as the official source for your JPJ vehicle record. For the latest official LKM status, check JPJ or MyJPJ.
Check and renew your car insurance through BJAK.
5. Check at a JPJ Counter
If you prefer to check your information in person, you can visit a JPJ office or service counter.
Bring your identification document and vehicle details so JPJ can assist you with checking your LKM information.
How Early Can You Renew Roadtax?
You do not have to wait until your roadtax expires.
JPJ allows an LKM to be renewed up to two months before its expiry date, subject to the applicable renewal requirements.
Before renewing, make sure your motor insurance or takaful is valid for the period of LKM you want to renew.
What If Your Roadtax Has Already Expired?
If you discover that your roadtax has expired, avoid driving the vehicle on public roads until the LKM has been renewed.
First, check whether your insurance is still valid. If necessary, renew your insurance before applying for the LKM renewal.
If your LKM has been expired for more than three years, additional inspection requirements may apply before you can renew it.
