The JPJ explicitly states the LMM renewal slip can only be used within Malaysia and is not valid overseas. If you intend on driving in a foreign country, you’ll need to visit a JPJ counter to request for a physical card and pay RM20 for it. Similarly, the e-LMM can’t be used in foreign countries, so it looks you’ll have to get the physical card as well.

You’ll need to provide proof and any supporting documents such as travel tickets, an offer letter, a passport or any other relevant documents relating your trip overseas. Certain countries require an international driving permit (IDP), which is another thing you’ll have to pay for.


tldr:
So basically, just to get a physical driving lesen card, just like what we have now, need to go to JPJ office to apply. And whether can get also based on JPJ officer's discretion. On top of that, need to pay RM20 for the card.

not sure about you, feeling that this is a regressive move. More bureaucratic process and at the same time open for chances of power abuse.

Physical card RM20, for up to 5 years, parallel with your e-license, and that depends on discretion of officer.. some countries do recognise our physical driver license due to having english on it...

International driving license RM150 per annum

Damnyuuum...i see how they forcing us to get international driving license to drive overseas!

all these requirements follow whichever country you're in. not something enforced by JPJ. JPJ got no jurisdiction there.

You can sell your car easily to other country if allowed. Those smugglers will be very rich & happy if the rule loosen.

Rent-A-Wreck accepts M'sian driving license cos there's English on the card. I presented that along with IDP at the counter; that 300lb woman handed back the IDP and only referred to driving license and passport biggrin.gif
