Pos Malaysia has announced through its social media channels that starting February 1, 2026, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) will no longer be issuing printed road tax (LKM) slips for Malaysian-owned private vehicles.
The printed LKM slips refers to the physical paper document, which was introduced as an optional interim measure as JPJ transitions to the digital road tax (e-LKM) system through the MyJPJ mobile application.
These physical printed slips are not required to be displayed on the vehicle, and are only meant for personal safekeeping during the transition period; law enforcement do not require physical proof of LKM as they are equipped with digital systems to cross-check the validity of the vehicle’s road tax.
Nevertheless, Pos Malaysia states in its post that for those who still require a physical LKM slip, they can still request for one when they renew their vehicle road tax and insurance at Pos Malaysia post offices and kiosks nationwide before the February 1 deadline, subject to stock availability.

A Ministry of Transport spokesperson clarifies that the deadline is also only applicable to private vehicles owned by Malaysians, and JPJ will still continue to offer printed LKM slips for vehicles owned by non-Malaysians.
Despite the government’s digitalisation efforts, the ministry has also recently announced that physical driving licence can now be obtained at JPJ counters or Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) nationwide without any proof of overseas travel.
