As a vehicle owner in Malaysia, renewing your road tax annually is a legal requirement. However, it’s easy to forget the expiry date, and missing it may result in fines or penalties.
Here are some effective ways to receive reminders for your road tax renewal so you stay compliant and avoid unnecessary trouble.
1. Use the MyJPJ App
2. Get Reminders via Insurance Platforms
If you renew your insurance through platforms like Bjak, MyEG, or Pos Malaysia, you can receive automated reminders via email, SMS, or WhatsApp.
3. Set Manual Reminders on Your Phone
If you prefer a manual approach, you can set your own reminders using:
- Google Calendar
- Task apps (e.g., To Do, Reminder, Notion)
- Annual phone notifications
This method is useful if you’re not using official apps or online platforms regularly.
4. Check Road Tax Status Online
You can also verify your road tax status anytime using your vehicle registration number through:
- JPJ Online Status Check
- MyEG Road Tax Check
Just enter your number plate to see the latest road tax and insurance status.
5. Renew via Bjak – Notifications Included
When you renew your road tax and insurance with Bjak, you benefit from:
- Records stored in your profile
- Automatic reminders before expiry
- Renewal links sent via WhatsApp or email
This is one of the most convenient ways to stay updated.
Conclusion
To avoid late renewals and potential penalties, here are the best practices:
- Use the MyJPJ app for official reminders
- Register with platforms like Bjak or MyEG for auto-alerts
- Set personal reminders on your device
With the right reminders, you can renew your road tax on time every year — stress-free and penalty-free.
