​In Malaysia’s ongoing digital transformation, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has introduced a new feature in the MyJPJ app called “Kongsi LKM,” allowing vehicle owners to share their digital road tax (e-LKM) with others. This development offers greater flexibility and convenience for those who lend their vehicles to family members or friends.

Understanding the ‘Kongsi LKM’ Feature

The “Kongsi LKM” feature enables vehicle owners to grant temporary access to their digital road tax to other MyJPJ app users. This is particularly useful when someone else needs to use your vehicle, ensuring they have valid road tax documentation during their usage period. ​

Step-by-Step Guide to Sharing Your Digital Road Tax

As the Vehicle Owner:

1. Log into the MyJPJ App:

   • Open the MyJPJ app and enter your credentials.

2. Access Your Profile:

   • Tap on the ‘Profile’ section, typically located at the bottom right corner.​

3. Select ‘Motor Vehicle Licence’:

   • Here, you’ll see a list of your registered vehicles.​

4. Choose the Vehicle to Share:

   • Tap on the vehicle’s registration number you intend to share.​

5. Initiate ‘Share LKM’:

   • Scroll to find and tap the ‘Share LKM’ button.​

6. Enter Recipient Details:

   • Provide the recipient’s MyKad number and specify the sharing duration.​

7. Generate Activation Code:

   • The app will produce a unique activation code. Share this code with the intended recipient.​

As the Recipient:

1. Log into the MyJPJ App:

   • Ensure you have an active MyJPJ account and log in.​

2. Access ‘Motor Vehicle Licence’:

   • Navigate to this section to view shared vehicles.​

Important Considerations:

• Activation Window: The recipient must activate the shared road tax within 24 hours; otherwise, the sharing record will be automatically deleted for security purposes. ​

• Duration Limit: The vehicle owner sets the sharing duration, after which access will expire.​

Benefits of ‘Kongsi LKM’:

• Convenience: Simplifies the process of lending vehicles without physical document exchanges.​

• Compliance: Ensures that anyone driving your vehicle has valid road tax documentation readily available.​

• Security: The use of activation codes and time-bound access enhances security and prevents unauthorised use.​

Conclusion

The introduction of the “Kongsi LKM” feature in the MyJPJ app marks a significant step towards digitalising and simplifying vehicle documentation processes in Malaysia. By allowing vehicle owners to share digital road tax information securely and efficiently, JPJ enhances user convenience while maintaining stringent security measures. Embracing this feature can lead to a more streamlined and hassle-free experience for all Malaysian drivers.​
