Re: Suspension Of Conversion of Foreign Driving Licence to Malaysia Driving Lice
I am not sure if it is possible to see from the licence that it is a converted licence. And when I made the licence some years ago with the famous embassy letter I was told that no more documents are needed for renewal then later after 5 years, just the old licence.

WOW finally they are moving in the right direction. WOOHOO
Let's hope they follow through supposed to start in November. Miracles never cease. Now if they would bring back the no tax on car purchases for MM2H that would be a big incentive too. |
Re: Suspension Of Conversion of Foreign Driving Licence to Malaysia Driving Lice
I was wondering if anyone has yet converted a foreign licence under the new arrangements. I am on MM2H and wish to do this with my UK licence and assume I can simply visit the JPJ on Penang Island for the purpose. Any advice (documents/fees required etc.) would be appreciated.
Thanks. |

I'm currently preparing the forms for this, just waiting for my 'Certification Letter' from DVLA in UK. I'll update once I've submitted.

Re: Suspension Of Conversion of Foreign Driving Licence to Malaysia Driving Lice
Call DVLA on +443007906801 & ask for a letter 'certifying' your existing UK licence & they will provide one. Explain that it's part of the process for the Malaysian authorities to allow you to drive here. Have the obvious details to hand, including your driving licence number. I had mine sent to a UK address, not sure if they will post overseas. The lady I spoke to was very helpful & understood exactly what I was talking about.

I don't understand why they want this letter. Why are a current UK driving licence, plus an IDP, plus passport not sufficient?

That question you would have to ask of JPJ. It's required by their official process. I gave up trying to use logic and reasoning with government departments long ago, if you don't provide what they ask for you don't get what you want, simple as that ;)

But of course that would not stop a fake verification letter to verify a fake driving licence.:blink: But all of the above could well be fake news :thumbup: |
