Can I keep both Malaysia and Singapore driving license?

It is possible to hold both a Malaysia and a Singapore driving license simultaneously. Both countries allow their citizens to hold multiple driving licenses, as long as you meet the respective eligibility criteria and follow the legal requirements of each country.

However, there are a few important points to consider:

  1. Residency Requirements: In both Singapore and Malaysia, there may be requirements related to residency for obtaining or renewing a driving license. Make sure you meet these requirements in both countries.
  2. Renewal and Updating Information: Keep in mind that you’ll need to renew both licenses according to the regulations of each country. This may involve providing updated personal information, passing required tests, or meeting other criteria.
  3. Driving in Each Country: When you are in Singapore, you should use your Singapore driving license. When you are in Malaysia, use your Malaysian driving license. This is in accordance with the laws of each respective country.
  4. International Driving Permit (IDP): If you plan to drive in a country other than Singapore or Malaysia, you might need an International Driving Permit (IDP). This is a translation of your driving license and serves as an additional form of identification.
  5. Legal Compliance: Make sure you comply with all the traffic laws and regulations of the country you are driving in. Violations could lead to penalties, fines, or other legal consequences.
