Electronic insurance notes before JPJ issues permits from next year

PETALING JAYA: Motorists will only be issued virtual insurance cover notes from Jan 1 under a new directive by the Road Transport Department (JPJ).  

The new directive issued recently means that insurance companies will no longer give out a physical cover note prior to the issuance of the actual insurance policy. At the same time, JPJ will only release motor vehicle licences and permits, such as road tax, based on the insurance record sent by insurance companies.
