News & Reviews:   MyKid

Today, the National Registration Department (JPN) announced that it has opened applications for MyKid cards from 29 July 2024 at all National Registration Department Offices nationwide. The re-opening of the MyKid application marks the end of the temporary suspension of MyKid production due to a lack of microchip supply.

The issuance of MyKid for newborns in Malaysia is expected to be delayed for up to 6 months due to the global microchip shortage caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. National Registration Department (JPN) confirmed the matter recently, saying that for the time being, parents can use their children’s birth certificates for daily affairs.
