Find out the procedure if you can't automatically exchange your foreign driving licence for a Malaysian one...
Anyone with a driving licence that does not fall into one of the above categories must attend a training session and take a driving test, which has four stages.
- The applicant must attend the Drivers' Education Curriculum class, which lasts five hours. This can be done at any Driving Institute and an Attendance Certificate (JPJL2A) is issued upon completion.
- The applicant must sit the Road Traffic Rule Test at a site approved by the Road Transport Department. A fee applies.
- Upon completing stage 2, the applicant must complete a theory and practical course. This takes 16 hours and is arranged by the Driving Institute.
- After completing the 16-hour course, the applicant may then take the practical driving test on public roads.
After passing the practical driving test, it is then possible to apply for a Probationary Driving Licence at a Road Transport Department Office. The licence is valid for two years.
To apply for a Probationary Licence, the completed JPJL1 application form should be submitted to a Road Transport Department Office with the following:
- The completed JPJL3 test card
- The original and a copy of the learner driving licence
- The original and a copy of the driver's passport
- A coloured photograph (25mm X 32mm)
- A licence fee
