JPJ reopens 13 more services, but only for commercial vehicles

PETALING JAYA: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is making available 13 more services related to commercial vehicles beginning May 11.

However, services related to private vehicles will only be resumed at a later date.

The 13 new services include renewal of motor vehicle road tax (LKM) for e-hailing, taxis or rental vehicles, as well as renewal of vocational driving licence (PSV) for these vehicle types.

JPJ will also process transactions related to new commercial vehicle registrations; ownership change of commercial vehicles, and various applications, including for vintage or classic status; commercial vehicle modification and A16 (weight and dimension).

Applications at the RTD headquarters for weight certification; vehicle technical plan; installation of headlights; PE or consultant registration; component type approval (CTA) and vehicle type approval (VTA) will also be available.

“Counter operations will only be on working days from 8am until 3pm, while transactions after 11am will be limited to e-payment.

“The public is encouraged to use e-payment methods (debit or credit card), ” said the JPJ in a statement today.

It said the reopening of its services during the conditional movement control order (MCO) period focused on commercial vehicles in order to support the continuity of economic activities.

Drivers of private vehicles are reminded that they are exempted from renewing their road tax during the MCO as announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on March 24.

“The public is allowed to drive their vehicles even if their motor vehicle licence has expired during the MCO as long as their vehicle insurance is still valid, ” it added.
