QUOTE(kezsz @ Feb 11 2024, 08:51 AM) Guys help me.. I'm heading to Lombok next month and plan to ride a scooter there . Do I need international driving licence or just use our existing licence will do .. I'm a confuse duck Your license is good enough if you still have the physical one.There is no international driving licence, it is international driving permit. Which is merely a supplementary document that translates your Malaysian driving license.

QUOTE(andyng38 @ Feb 11 2024, 08:25 AM) 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 She is correct. Because IDP is just a supplementary document translating our license. It is invalid without the license. So even with IDP a physical license is still required. bdrc liked this post

It's stupid really. Our current driving license has a translation compared to the older laminated type to ease driving overseas and using it as an ID.
So many pancut early don't read, then bash ts don't know when they think ts talking about IDP. This post has been edited by LamboSama: Feb 11 2024, 09:19 AM |

QUOTE(gaeria84 @ Feb 11 2024, 09:19 AM) No problem renting, they don't care if u have idp or not You can claim your insurance with your Malaysian license.But if accident wanna claim insurance cannot if no idp IDP is not a license it is just a supplementary translation of your license. It holds no power nor additional advantages. |

QUOTE(accordvtec @ Feb 11 2024, 07:08 PM) https://www.jpj.my/international_driving_permit.htm Yup you got conned. Jpj happy to take money from you if you want to give.why this website (not jpj official website) mentioned that you need to surrender LMM to change to idp? last time i wanted to drive at aus, they told me just do license translation which cost me rm20 only iirc. then i wanted to drive at japan and needed idp for rm150/year. if what u said is true, does that means i got conned by jpj? an idp is just a translation to our LMM? I already did idp many times never surrender malaysia driving license also. https://www.reddit.com/r/malaysia/comments/...dl_in_malaysia/ QUOTE Q: Can I drive with an International Driving Permit (IDP) only? A; No, you must have your original driving license all the time you drive. https://www.jpj.my/faqs/idp_faqs.htm QUOTE An IDP is an additional document - it doesn’t replace your original driving licence. It’s intended to allow you to drive when overseas for a short period. However, if you’re moving for the long term the chances are that you’ll need to convert your home driving licence to a licence issued by the country you’ve moved to. https://wise.com/my/blog/international-driv...icence-malaysia https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1741652/all This post has been edited by LamboSama: Feb 11 2024, 09:36 PM |

QUOTE(accordvtec @ Feb 12 2024, 10:00 AM) that was long time ago when we still use the laminated license lol. That one long time ago in BM. We switch to the new one in with English to ease these issues.i tried to find the information but seems like it is irrelevant now That is why a lot of people say going backwards. |
