Can You Renew Expired Roadtax Online?

The answer is: yes, you can – but it depends on how long it’s been expired and the status of your insurance.

If your roadtax expired less than 12 months ago, you can still renew it online through platforms like JPJ (MyJPJ app) or Bjak.
However, if it has expired more than a year, you’ll likely need to visit a JPJ counter in person.
