How to Renew Your Driving Licence Using the MyJPJ App

You can renew your driving licence on the MyJPJ app in a few minutes, without going to a JPJ counter. Once you pay, your renewed licence shows up in the app as a digital licence that you can present when asked.

This guide focuses on the renewal itself. It covers how to log in to MyJPJ, the steps to renew, how much it costs and what to do if you still need a physical card.

Before you start: what you need

Renewing in the app is quick, but a few things need to be in place first. Check these before you open MyJPJ.

• A smartphone with the latest MyJPJ app. Download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, or update it if you already have it.
• An active MyDigital ID. MyJPJ now uses MyDigital ID, the government’s digital identity app, as its main login. You need to register and verify your identity in the MyDigital ID app first.
• A licence that can still be renewed. A licence that has been expired for more than three years cannot be renewed. You would need to apply and sit for the tests again.
• A way to pay online. Have your bank card or online banking details ready.

Step 1: Log in to MyJPJ with MyDigital ID

The old method of registering a separate MyJPJ account with an email address, a temporary password and security questions no longer applies to most users. JPJ announced that MyDigital ID would become the login method for MyJPJ from 1 May 2026.

Here is how logging in works now.

1. Install the MyDigital ID app and register with your MyKad details.
2. Complete the face verification (eKYC) step using your phone’s front camera, then set a password.
3. Open MyJPJ and tap the option to log in with MyDigital ID.
4. Approve the login request in the MyDigital ID app using your password or fingerprint/Face ID.

MyPR holders can still use the existing login method through alternative channels, according to JPJ. If you are new to the app, our MyJPJ app guide explains its other features, such as checking your digital road tax and summons.

Step 2: Renew your licence in the app

Once you are logged in, the renewal takes only a few taps. The exact labels may change slightly when JPJ updates the app, but the flow is similar.

1. Tap Profile (Profil) on the main screen.
2. Open your competent driving licence (CDL) details.
3. Tap Renewal (Pembaharuan).
4. Choose the licence class you want to renew and how many years to renew it for.
5. Check that your details are correct, then choose your payment method and pay.
6. Wait for the confirmation screen and save your receipt.

After payment, your licence page in MyJPJ shows the new expiry date. Take a screenshot of the receipt in case you need proof of payment later.

How much does it cost to renew a driving licence?

The fee depends on your licence class and how many years you renew for. The table below shows the commonly quoted annual rates for a competent driving licence.

Licence class	What it covers	Fee per year
A, A1	Disabled persons’ vehicles	RM2
B, B2, C	Motorcycles	RM20
D	Cars (manual and auto)	RM30

For a Class D car licence, that works out to RM30 for one year, RM90 for three years and RM150 for five years. The app shows the exact amount before you pay, so check it on the payment screen.

Your digital licence and getting a physical card

When you renew in MyJPJ, your licence is issued in digital form. You can show the licence page in the app if a JPJ or police officer asks for it during a check in Malaysia.

You may still want a physical card, for example if you plan to drive overseas, because the digital licence and renewal slip are only for use in Malaysia. Since 23 January 2026, you can apply for a physical licence card at any JPJ or UTC counter without showing proof of overseas travel.

Who	Physical card printing fee
Malaysians	RM20
Non-Malaysians	RM100
Aged 60 and above, Class A and A1 holders, registered OKU	Free

Common problems and what to do

Your licence expired a long time ago

If your licence has been expired for more than three years, it can no longer be renewed. JPJ has also reminded drivers that an expired licence can affect their eligibility for the BUDI95 fuel subsidy, so it is better to renew on time.

You still have a P licence

A probationary (P) licence is not renewed in the same way. When your P licence period ends, you need to convert it to a competent driving licence. JPJ has added this conversion to the MyJPJ app, so you can apply there too.

You hold a vocational licence

This guide covers the competent driving licence. Vocational licences such as PSV and GDL have their own rules, so check the official renewal information on MyGOV or ask JPJ before you pay.

The app does not let you log in

Make sure your MyDigital ID is fully verified and both apps are updated to the latest version. If the problem continues, contact JPJ through its official channels or renew at a JPJ counter, Pos Malaysia or a UTC instead.

Why renew through MyJPJ?

• No queues. You can renew at home, at any time of day.
• Instant update. Your new expiry date appears in the app once payment goes through.
• Nothing to lose. Your licence lives in the app, so there is no card to misplace for local driving.
• Less paper. You get a digital receipt and a digital licence.

Conclusion

Renewing your driving licence on MyJPJ is simple once your MyDigital ID is set up. Check your licence class and expiry date, renew before it lapses, and keep your receipt. If you need to drive abroad, get a physical card at a JPJ or UTC counter.

While you are sorting out your driving documents, check that your car insurance is up to date too. BJAK lets you compare car insurance and takaful quotes from multiple providers in one place.
