PUTRAJAYA: Malaysians holding valid foreign driving licences with no restrictions will be allowed to apply for conversion to Malaysian Driving Licences (LMM) beginning June 1.
In a statement today, the Transport Ministry (MOT) said applications under the revised procedures can be made at all Road Transport Department (RTD) offices nationwide.
“The move is in line with current developments and aims to ensure the mobility of Malaysians working, residing or managing affairs abroad is not disrupted,” the ministry said.

Under the current policy, conversion of foreign driving licences is limited to Malaysians who obtained foreign licences before holding Malaysian licences, Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) participants and members of the diplomatic corps.
MOT said the improved procedures are intended to ensure compliance with existing regulations while maintaining driving competency standards among applicants.
“It is also aimed at facilitating applications for the conversion of foreign driving licences to Malaysian licences by taking into account current needs and the mobility of Malaysians, especially amid the current challenging global and domestic economic environment,” it said.
The ministry said application requirements, procedures and fees will be available on the JPJ website from June 1.
