I'm at JPJ wangsa maju now unable to proceed with name transfer due to previous owner blacked listed by court. Becareful guys if you did a record search today and turn out no JPJ blacklist, the blacklist could register  on the next day due to it takes 6 - 7 months for blacklist to appear in JPJ system.

BTW, thumbs up for officers in JPJ wangsa maju for being fast and effeicient.

Edit: I am amaze with the efficiency of JPJ wangsa maju and padang Jawa bahagian senarai hitam. People are saying that it will take at least 2 days to 5 days to have the JPJ blacklist withdrawn but in my case it has been done in just 1 hour.

You can go to JPJ HQ or branch, not UTC. They will have a counter name "rekod". Normally at pintu Lima I think.

The proper way for record search is complete proof of purchase, letter form any relevant party for example bank, or you can get the owner to search record. However, the last time I did record search with just proof of purchase (deposit).

If you are buying the car from direct owner, the blacklist must be cleared first before name transfer, that's mean either you or ex owner has to pay and clear the blacklist. It is suggested both of you to show up during name transfer because blacklist can suddenly showup even it wasn't there couple days ago.
