Original copy of MyKad
Please make sure to bring the original copy of your MyKad. It is necessary to display the MyKad whether you are present as the car owner or on behalf of the owner.
Vehicle registration number and owner’s number ID
Make sure you provide the correct plate number with the number of MyKad. Otherwise, it will cause complications during the renewal process.
Ensure your car roadtax is valid at all times
