Checking Vehicle Ownership in Malaysia: JPJ and SSM Guide

How to Verify Vehicle and Company Ownership in Malaysia

Malaysia provides official online channels for checking vehicle registration details and company ownership through two primary agencies.

Vehicle Ownership: JPJ (Road Transport Department)

1. Visit www.jpj.gov.my → "Online Services" → "Vehicle Ownership" → "Vehicle Owner Details"
2. Enter registration number (e.g., WXX 1234)
3. Complete CAPTCHA/verification
4. Results show: owner name, IC/passport number (partial), address, vehicle make/model/year/engine/chassis, road tax/insurance status, summons record

Note: Full owner IC/address may be redacted for privacy. In-person at JPJ counters provides complete details with valid reason (accident, purchase verification). MyJPJ app also available.

Company Ownership: SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia)

1. Visit www.ssm.com.my → "SSM e-Info" / "MyData SSM"
2. Search by company name or registration number
