Govt May Make MyDigital ID Compulsory – Here’s Why It Matters

The Malaysian government may soon make MyDigital ID registration compulsory, as reported by The Edge. This move aims to support secure online transactions and streamline digital services across various sectors, including healthcare, education, and road transport.

What Is MyDigital ID?

MyDigital ID is a national digital identity system that gives Malaysians a secure way to verify their identity online. It helps improve access to government and private sector services, while also boosting cybersecurity.

Why Is It Becoming Mandatory?

According to The Edge, the government is considering a specific Act to make MyDigital ID registration mandatory. This means every Malaysian will need to register to enjoy future digital services – from paying bills to managing vehicle ownership and even renewing road tax or car insurance online.

What Does This Mean for Drivers?

If you drive or own a car, this change may impact you directly. For example:

• Sell your car online securely using verified identity.

• Renew or claim your car insurance without in-person visits.

• Get a faster valuation for your used car with trusted authentication.

How It Helps the Car Industry

Mandatory MyDigital ID could reduce fraud in vehicle transactions and streamline processes when you:

• Sell a car

• Buy car insurance in Malaysia

• Transfer ownership

• Report stolen vehicles
