Hi all,

I am buying a used bike with its road tax expired. I have no experience on buying used bike previously.
the seller said he can just do his part to transfer ownership via mysikap online, and I need to go to JPJ to complete the ownership transfer.
But as I know the in order for me to complete the ownership transfer, as the new owner I need to purchase the new motor insurance first before approaching JPJ. My questions:

1. do the above process I understand correctly? otherwise please correct me.

2. can i purchase the new insurance online? I tried to get quotation of insurance in Myeg by submitting my NRIC and the plate no. but the system responded that the vehicle information is unable to be retrieved.

Thank you.

If not yet transfer ownership, cannot renew online as your IC and plate no not the same in the system.

You need to use the owner ic and plate no to renew but if you do tis when transfer ownership the insurance will become invalid as not in your name.

Too much hassle so transfer ownership first.

Thanks for your advice.
Means I did misunderstand the procedure. I thought previously was to have valid insurance first before the ownership transferring process could be done.
So the actual is I do not need any valid insurance first to complete tukar name in JPJ ya?
