NRD: MyKad printing services disrupted until Sept 7 for shift to new-gen

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — The National Registration Department (NRD) is shifting from the current MyKad system to a new-generation MyKad, leading to interruptions in printing services until September 7. The NRD disclosed this disruption in a statement made today. During this transitional period, members of the public are advised against replacing or renewing their MyKad unless it's an emergency.

Parents and guardians of first-time applicants, especially those whose children are turning 12, are also urged to delay their applications. This deferment enables their children to acquire the new-generation MyKad upon its availability. Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar expressed gratitude for public patience and cooperation during this changeover.

"The department apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this matter," the statement concluded. For updates on the new-generation MyKad developments, the public is directed to follow the JPN's official communication channels.
