Effective Oct 1, there will be a new fee structure for those
wanting to replace their lost MyKad.
According to the National Registration Department (NRD), a
RM100 fee will be imposed on those requesting for their first replacement
MyKad, RM200 for the second replacement, and RM300 for the third and subsequent
replacements.
NRD director-general Datuk Mohd Abdul Halim Muhammad said
the new fee rates will be applicable to both Malaysian citizens and
non-citizens, and it was meant to curb the problem of misplaced identity
cards.
In a press statement, the NRD noted that this fee did not
include the application fee of RM10; no processing fee will be charged.
Currently, payment for MyKad replacement ranges from RM30
(for first replacement) to RM120 (for fourth and subsequent replacements).
However, those exempted from this fee are:
- The poor, disabled, the elderly – They need to show a
confirmation letter from the Welfare Department, District Office, Penghulu or
the Orang Asli Affairs Department (JHEOA). - Those who lost their MyKad because of robbery or snatch
theft – They need to show a police report stating the details of the incidents
clearly. - Those affected by natural disasters such as
house fire, floods, typhoons, landslides or tsunami – They need to show a
confirmation letter from the Welfare Department, Penghulu or District Office.
