If you’re on a budget, try to book the appointment during Raya Aidilfitri or Chinese New Year season (that’s good!). The bad news is that these 2 are the only festive seasons that PUSPAKOM have a promo but what can we do other than to follow their rules (right?). As long can jimat, we good!
Once you’ve booked the appointment, it’s best to ensure your car/motorcycle is clean and in perfect condition. Surely you don’t want to give the PUSPAKOM officer any reason to fail your inspection, right?
Step 2: Get yourself a temporary travel permit
It is defo a public knowledge that driving a car/motorcycle without a valid road tax is considered a traffic offence. If that’s the case, how can you bring your car/motorcycle for inspection at PUSPAKOM? Obvi cannot main redah je.
It’s pretty simple actually, you just need to get the Temporary Travel Permit For Vehicle Inspection Purpose (JPJ K12) at the nearest JPJ office/branch. This document will be considered as your valid road tax but only for a day. So, you can only use it during the inspection day. You can also download the form here.Besides that, you’ll also need to prepare (1) the original car/motorcycle grant, (2) your identification card and (3) driving license. Please make sure that these documents are still valid because if not, you’re just going to PUSPAKOM for fun!
Step 3: The inspection for your car/motorcycle
The time has finally come for the PUSPAKOM to inspect your car/motorcycle. You may refer to the process flow below to know more regarding the matter.
Once you’ve registered and paid for the inspection, you’ll have to wait for the PUSPAKOM officer to check the entire car/motorcycle to ensure everything works as it should be (the signal lights, the bumper etc) and within the law. If all is well, you’ll get the full inspection report on the same day which will be valid for a month (yay, it means you’ve passed!). Do make sure to renew your road tax & car insurance/motorcycle insurance during this period.
