'P' licences can be converted via MyJPJ app from tomorrow

PUTRAJAYA: Motorists can convert the probationary driving licence (PDL) to the competent driving licence (CDL) through the MyJPJ app from Feb 17.

In a statement today, Road Transport Department (JPJ) director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the feature is expected to benefit 2.38 million eligible PDL holders.

"The introduction of the new feature aims to facilitate applications for a CDL online without the need to visit a JPJ counter.

"...PDL holders may apply for a CDL through the MyJPJ app anytime and anywhere using their smartphones," he said.

Aedy Fadly said applicants can download or update the app before logging in, adding that after selecting the relevant menus and paying the application fees, they will receive a notification about their application status.

"The new CDL application feature through the MyJPJ app is easy, quick, time-saving, flexible and user-friendly," he added.
