    Hi,

    Has anyone recently converted their Indian Driving License to Malaysian one? Is an International DL issued by the government of India needed for conversion? Heard that of late, conversion process is not that easy and majority of the applications are being rejected. Is this true? If not what is the procedure to go about?

    Cheers :cheers
    Deepa

    Hi deepa,

    I have done this conversion.. Not very recently though.. I did in July 2011.

    It's not at all difficult, applications never get rejected.. I submitted few papers like my Indian driving license, passport photocopy, my photos etc.. With the necessary forms and paid the fees. Within one day got my license.. Since I had just taken my Indian license, I was given a P license in malaysia which will automatically be converted to full driving license in 2 years time.

    Every year we just renew the license in any nearby post office..

    It's not necessary to have an international driving license issued by the Indian government. The normal domestic Indian license is sufficient..

    Hi dckrpl,

    You can check with Road Transport Department*of Malaysia (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Malaysia*- JPJ) in your area and find out why it got rejected.
