Flood victims do not need to replace damaged or lost road tax, licence – JPJ
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has offered small relief to flood victims who are facing issues with lost or damaged physical road tax, grants or licence.
According to the department, these documents do not need to be replaced as they can all be accessed through the MyJPJ app.
JPJ Director-General Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli stated that this is in line with JPJ’s transition towards full digitalisation in the future.
He added that by registering on the application, enforcement agencies such as JPJ can also verify the authenticity of the documents.
Meanwhile, individuals who do not yet have MyJPJ only need to register to access digital documents such as driving licences, road tax, grants, and the Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC).
“There is no need to worry, as those affected (by the floods) do not need to make replacements.
“The responsibility for determining the validity of licences or road tax lies with the enforcement agency itself, and we are also moving towards digitalisation,” he said.
