Introduction

Sometimes you need to assist a family member, friend, or staff to renew roadtax for someone else. The process differs from renewing your own roadtax. BJAK makes it simple, but you must ensure all required documents and conditions are complete.

To renew roadtax for another person, usually you need:

  • Copy of the vehicle owner’s ID (IC)
  • Copy of your own ID (applicant/representative)
  • Active insurance for the vehicle

BJAK allows uploading all documents online — no need for physical paperwork.

2. Important Requirements

  • Insurance must be active and valid
