Insurance policy or Cover Note

Remember getting a document when you buy insurance? That is your insurance policy. It has all the information regarding your car from the sum insured, insurance premium, excess amount and of course, when your car insurance expires. If you can’t find it, you can contact your insurance agent and ask them to send it to you.

For future reference, keep a soft copy of your insurance policy for future reference.

Use MyJPJ

If you can’t find your insurance policy or cover note, no problem! Simply download the MyJPJ app and you can find out when your car insurance expires in just a few simple steps.

The homepage of the app looks like this. On the bottom right of your screen should be your profile. Tap it to view your profile.

Your profile should look like this. Here, you can see your driving license and when it expires. But that is not what we are here for. Instead, tap “motor vehicle licence” to see your car insurance information.
