First-time applicants advised to wait for New Generation MyKad

In a statement today, JPN advised those who do not have an urgent need to replace or renew their MyKad to hold off on their applications for the time being.

The department said MyKad printing services are expected to face temporary disruptions from today until 7 September.

Parents or guardians applying for their child’s first MyKad at age 12 are also encouraged to wait for a while, allowing them to receive the New Generation MyKad once issuance begins in the near future.

“As a result, MyKad printing services nationwide are expected to experience temporary disruptions from 1 September to 7 September 2026. Members of the public who do not have an urgent need to replace or renew their MyKad are advised to temporarily postpone their applications during this period,” the statement read.

Further updates on the New Generation MyKad will be shared through JPN’s official channels from time to time.
