JPJ relaxes B2 – B Full licence conversion condition

After the start of the licence conversion for Malaysian B2 motorcycle licence holders, JPJ has relaxed a requirement. Previously, applicants for the licence conversion were required to have held a valid B2 licence for 10 years consecutively.

However, the condition has been relaxed with immediate effect, with licence holders now having only to have held a B2 licence for 10 years or more, without having the period be consecutive. According to JPJ Director-General Aedy Fadly Ramli this was done is response to feedback from the public.

Aedy said that during the MCO period from 2020 to 2022, many were unable to renew their B2 licence, along with the exemption granted to all licence holders from renewal during that period. Saying the excuse was reasonable, a decision was made to relax the requirement, with all other conditions remaining unchanged.

Meanwhile, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said updates to the B2 to B Full licence conversion will be made to ensure more applicants are eligible. “We are implementing this system change immediately to make it easier for the public. We ask for patience, and within a few days, applicants can participate in the programme at the involved deriving institutes,” said Loke in a Bernama report.
