If you are caught driving without a valid license, you could be fined by the police or JPJ officers. Below are some frequently asked questions about driving licenses in Malaysia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do I need to carry a physical driving license at all times?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, effective <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/news\/nation\/2023\/02\/878671\/digital-road-tax-and-licence-heres-what-you-need-know-nsttv\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 February 2023<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you will no longer need to carry a physical copy of your driving license. You can simply download the digital copy from the JPJ mySIKAP website or find it on the MyJPJ mobile app.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens if I forget to renew my license?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you get caught driving with an expired driving license, a fine will be imposed. The amount that you will have to pay depends on how long your driving license has expired. Here are the penalties for driving with an expired license.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Duration of License Expiry<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Penalty<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 \u2013 15 days<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM150<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16 \u2013 30 days<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM200<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">31 \u2013 60 days<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM300<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I renew an expired driving license?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can renew your license as usual by visiting the post office or JPJ offices as well as on MyEG, with a minimum renewal period of two years if it has expired.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> However, If your driving license has expired for three years or more, it becomes totally invalid. You can no longer renew it and you will have to go through the whole hassle of getting a new license from the very beginning. Here is what you need to do:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you try to renew your driving license after three years, you will have to go to the nearest JPJ office where you will be issued an eRayuan letter to obtain the \u201cL\u201d driving license (where you will have to pay RM 30). Then, you will have to re-sit the practical driving test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you pass these examinations, you still won\u2019t be able to get your full license and will be given a two-year probationary license (P License). So to avoid all this, do check your license regularly to make sure it hasn\u2019t expired.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I convert my Probationary Driving License (PDL) to a Full Competent Driving License (CDL)?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To convert your PDL to a CDL, you need to visit a JPJ office. The process can take as little as a few minutes and requires you to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit your nearest JPJ office.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill in form JPJ L1.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a number and wait for your turn.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the counter, notify the officer that you want to convert your P license to a Full license.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide your MyKad and P license, and state the license validity that you want <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(between one to 10 years)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can provide a white background photo of yourself measuring 25 mm x 32 mm if you wish to change the picture on the license.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I renew my expired PDL?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The P license has a validity of one and you can renew it within a year of its expiry date. If your P license has expired for more than a year, you need to send an appeal to JPJ to renew it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does a Learner Driving License (LDL) last?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your L license needs to be renewed every three or six months while you are still learning to drive. However, its validity cannot exceed two aggregate years from the date the license was issued. If your L license exceeds two years, you will need to repeat all your classes and tests to acquire a new L license.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope this article will prove useful the next time you need to renew your driving license. To prevent your license from expiring, try to check its expiry date every once in a while and you\u2019ll surely be able to stay out of trouble.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a quality <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pre-owned car<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> check out the large selection of cars at Carsome.
