PETALING JAYA: MyKad holders can now renew their driver’s licence at all National Registration Department offices in the Klang Valley.

NRD director-general Datuk Azizan Ayob said MyKad holders could conduct the transactions at the department’s offices in Shah Alam, Kuala Lumpur, Klang, Kajang, Seri Kembangan, Salak Selatan, Kepong, Ampang Jaya and Putrajaya.

“However, we can only process the renewals for cars and motorcycles for the time being while licences for heavy vehicles can be renewed at these offices by the end of this month,” he said at the NRD headquarters yesterday.

Azizan said there would be no extra charge to renew driving licences at NRD offices.

“There will also be no need to fill any forms. Just show the MyKad to the officers at the counter and make the payment,” he added.

He said those who wanted the normal paper-based driving licences could still get a copy of it from JPJ.

“It is not necessary but we encourage those going overseas to do so (get the paper-based driving licence) since they would need it to apply for driving licences in those countries,’’ he added.

Azizan said MyKad holders, who had not updated their driver’s licence information could do so at the NRD offices.

“JPJ has been supplied with 613 units of the Mobile Card Acceptance Devices (MCAD) and 1,600 Key Ring readers (KKR) while the police have more than 1,500 MCADs and 11,470 KKR units,’’ he added.
