Pos Malaysia is reminding motorists that printed road tax slips are about to disappear for a large chunk of private vehicles.
In a notice posted on its official Facebook page, Pos Malaysia said that from Feb 1, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) will stop issuing printed road tax slips for private vehicles.
For drivers who still want a physical copy, Pos Malaysia urged them to renew their road tax and motor insurance at a nearby post office before Feb 1, while the option is still available.
The change is part of a broader move to digital documentation.
JPJ began rolling out digital road tax in February 2023, with licence and road tax records stored digitally and accessible through the MyJPJ app for on-the-spot checks when required.
Still, the Transport Ministry signalled it accepts that the physical licence is not a relic for everyone, and that removing the travel requirement is meant to make the printed option available again without extra hoops.
From Jan 23, applicants no longer need to produce proof of overseas travel such as flight details to request a physical Malaysian driving licence.
