Types of Driving Licenses in Malaysia

Hai guys! Did you know that having a driver's license is a need because owning a car is still the most reliable form of transportation available.

Driving licenses in Malaysia are divided into several categories as follows:

📌Learner’s Driving License (LDL):
Also known as an L license, it allows you to learn to drive according to the prescribed classes such as B, B2, D, and E under the supervision of an experienced coach from the driving institute. The L license needs to be renewed every 3 to 6 months if you have not taken/passed the JPJ driving test. The validity period of the L license is for 2 years.

📌 Probationary Driving License (PDL):

Also known as a P license, it’s given to new drivers who have passed the practical driving test at a Driving Institute. All new drivers have to go through a two-year probationary period before getting their competent driving license.

📌Competent Driving License (CDL):
Refers to a valid driving license issued by JPJ to an individual after the expiration of the two-year probationary period. This license replaces your P license.

📌Vocational Driving License (VDL) or Commercial Driving License:
A special driving license for commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses. This license is issued jointly by JPJ and LPKP (Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board).

📌International Driving Permit (IDP):
An international driving license that allows Malaysians to drive in different countries. Application for this permit can be made at any JPJ office.
