Introduction
With Malaysia’s digital initiatives, the transition to digital roadtax is becoming increasingly widespread. Many drivers still confuse physical and digital roadtax, leading to misunderstandings such as late renewals or inactive roadtax in MyJPJ.
This article explains the differences between digital and physical roadtax, how to check status online, and tips to keep your roadtax valid — including using BJAK for a faster, easier process.
1. Digital vs Physical Roadtax
- Digital: Receive e-roadtax via email/WhatsApp, no extra cost, easy to store.
- Physical: Roadtax card delivered via Pos Malaysia or JPJ, usually with delivery fees.
- Both are valid as long as insurance is active and the plate number is registered.
2. Common Misunderstandings Among Malaysian Drivers
- Many think digital roadtax is invalid without a physical card.
- Some believe digital roadtax cannot be used for road inspections.
- In reality, MyJPJ and the police accept digital roadtax, so there’s no risk of fines if it’s valid.
3. How to Check Digital Roadtax
- Log in to MyJPJ to check status.
- Use the BJAK link after renewing insurance to obtain e-roadtax.
- Ensure all vehicle information (plate number, owner, insurance) is up to date.
4. Tips to Make the Transition to Digital Easier
- Choose BJAK when renewing insurance to receive digital roadtax immediately.
- Keep a copy of e-roadtax on your phone and email.
- Check your insurance expiry date to ensure digital roadtax remains active.
