Police and JPJ Introduce New Devices to Digitally Scan Road Tax Validity

Police and JPJ now have new devices to electronically scan for the validity of road taxes at checkpoints, says transport minister Anthony Loke.

Hulu Selangor MP Mohd Hasnizan Harun’s question had some questions regarding the problem of elderly motorists, who may have difficulty in showing their digital road tax.

Loke responds to this, stating that, “Police or JPJ no longer look at or check the road tax sticker in the car. There is no need to physically check,”.

Both parties can now key in your vehicle’s license plate number on their devices to check for valid road taxes.

Loke states that 13.7 million people have downloaded the MyJPJ app to date, while 10.7 million have registered for a JPJ electronic ID.

“This means that there should be at least 10 million individuals using the MyJPJ app,”

Loke suggests that this will support the country’s growth towards digitization, emphasizing that his ministry remains committed to accelerating these efforts.

Loke went on to add that the MyJPJ app will soon be able to send road tax renewal reminders.“The ministry and JPJ remain committed to improving the MyJPJ app continuously to enhance online service delivery to the public.”

“JPJ plans to roll out improvements to the app in phases, prioritised based on necessity and cost,” he added.
