The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has announced that starting from April 1, the registration of all new motor vehicles via the e-Daftar system will require the use of valid vehicle type approval (VTA) certificate serial numbers from JPJ.
The department said via a press statement that all vehicle manufacturers and other relevant parties will have to comply with the new ruling to avoid any difficulties or issues in the registration process.
It added that all vehicle manufacturers need to ensure they have the data related to the serial number of the VTA certificate in their e-Daftar system before March 31, as per the specifications set by JPJ, and reminded vehicle manufacturers to ensure their e-Daftar system is up to date and functioning well.
The primary objective in enforcing this matter is to ensure that every motor vehicle registered and licensed has an approved and valid VTA. The move is also a measure to control and restrict parties from any attempts to avoid the VTA approval process.
The department said that the VTA is a mandatory process for all new vehicle models before they are allowed to be registered and licensed. The process is enforced to ensure that each new model of the vehicle type complies with build features and specifications as defined under the Road Transport Act 1987 and the methods listed under it.

So this is an April Fools joke right?
Syabas JPJ! To give credits where its due. Some brilliant stuffs from them finally. Vehicle type approval (VTA) is mandatory in developed countries i.e. UK, Germany, Japan, USA & Spore.
We need some foreign CEO to run JPJ. Just like how we saw Li Chunrong taking over Proton. We saw results.
We need someone like Li Chunrong to turnaround JPJ for the better.
Fully agreed. Doesnt matter white cat or black cat as long as it catches the fat mice
JPJ just wants to set up another department to give free jobs to their own people. Goyang kaki and get free money
JPJ workers are always looking for easy life. Least work but want lots of money.
Ekceli not so easy to diff btw Civic FC kosong modded w TypeR kit and the real McCoy FK8R.
Your talking about type VTA approval which JPJ has implemented many moons ago. this a UN ECE requirement so it isn’t any thing new that JPJ were lagging. supposedly JPJ has all the records for the type of vehicle being registered, so why are they pushing it back to the manufacturers and relevant parties to get the registration number? this gomen is becoming inefficient and burdening the common people.
no laa..it’s you who are a fool.
This is just a waste of time. Already we have the most expensive car prices in the world, with this added, the cost of owning a car will go even higher.
It has been said that one of the purpose of this system is to curb cloning.
But we all know, all cloning is always done with JPJ personnel themselves. The same with fake road tax, it was an inside job selling original rims of road tax paper to syndicates.
In other words, clean up the JPJ from corrupt officers first before implementing all these rules for the public. All problems arise because most of the JPJ officers are corrupt to the core.
Don’t burden the public with more red tape just because you don’t know how to clean your already dirty corrupted department.
Too many rules and regulations for the public just because JPJ officers cannot do their job efficiently.
Already now public burdened by Puspakom approvals, now, this adds more to the cost of a new car.
I hope JPJ starts to work hard from now on instead of doing all sorts of gimmicks
We need more people from Mainland to come into Malaysia and work in JPJ. At least, they can work more efficiently and fast.
Currently, too many lazy dudes in JPJ
Registrations of Recond new motor vehicles will require the use of vehicle type approval (VTA) ?
Omg, another roll out that do nothing but create more red tap ..This new g is epic failure in all roll.out..
Car-pet terbang orso nid geran.
Last time they give free money to Puspakom. Even new vehicles also had to pay extra RM500 for Puspakom.
In UK, new vehicles no need MOT cause new is new.
Now they do this. Just to give jobs to the ulat ulat runner boys
My myvi can still overtake Civic turbo easily
More pocket money eh?
Review the entire process pls. If this is needed, then remove the redundancies to simplify the process. Not just add on and on and on. All this is at a cost to the ppl man! Not to mention wasting Rakyat time
It is very excellence moved if reducing the costs or good if no additional costs and very poor ideas if increasing cost to the end consumer.
normal rakyat care:
1) will increase car price?
2) will improve car safety like compulsory ESC & AEB on ALL new car sold after April 2019? When PH Gov? When?
3) prevent lesen terbang driver on to road?
4) prevent illegal engine, wheel and loud exhaust modification?
Jpj and their damm brainless ideas at it again
What’s the difference between the current Registration Card and this? If this is just a new set if number, that means one is redundant… the current Registration Card already has a Serial Number, isn’t this enough? What happens to vehicles registered before 1st April? Will they be required to re-registered? What happens when transferring to another buyer when they are sold in future? Remove the redundencies…JPJ already have good policies, clean it up, especially when all of us know what they are…instead of adding burdens or obstacles to owning a car…if JPJ themselves does a good job, we shouldn’t be needing a Puspakom type body to inspect our cars…these are designed for certain people to make money like the AES….
This can be done internally but instead they choose to burden the rakyat. Please wake up and solve the real issues that we have on the road.
Gov dept are there to create red tapes and processes so there are more opportunities to make some bucks.
Instead of adding new red tapes every other day, it should embark on process reengineering, to remove all requirements that are either of no value or are duplicated. With this, probably 50% of the red tapes can be cut together with 50% of the fat gov servants and 50% the costs of doing business.
milking the rakyat again…..
When commenters have no idea on what they are commenting…
This thing is something even currently all the car manufacturers or official importers must do, nothing to do with consumers and users. When you see spyshots of cars hung with red “sedang diuji JPJ” sign, it is a part of this process, to get the approval this article is talking about.
The only issue, are the recond cars and personal imports exampted from this?
So are you telling us new Myvi, Aruz, Bezza, and Axia does not have VTA approval? Because none of those models had carried out road testing.
please read this before comment…
