Renew Your Identity Card (IC) Via Phone Call

As a Malaysian, our Identity Card (i.e. IC) needs to be changed and renewed for at least 3 times at different level of ages. Usually what we will do is to go to the National Registration Department of Malaysia (NRD), wait for a long queue and then get the IC renewal done. Since the working hours of JPN is also our normal working and it is closed during weekends, you might end up asking for a day off to do this. However, worries not now, do you know now you can renew your IC just via a phone call??

Yes, it is just that simple. You just have to call the following number. How easy, isn't it?

Phone number to renew IC: 03-8880-8066

1. Only valid for Malaysians
2. RM10 fees will be charged upon collecting the new IC
3. IC renewal and collecting IC must be only done by the owner alone
4. 2 places for IC collection: i.e JPN Putrajaya and respective State Offices
