Malaysians who need to apply for, replace or update their MyKad may want to check out the latest information about the New Generation MyKad rollout before visiting a Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) office. Introduced on 17 September 2026, the new generation of Malaysia’s national identity card comes with an important consideration for applicants: knowing which branches offer printing services and where they can go to collect their new card.
For anyone who has been putting off an identity card application or replacement, finding a suitable JPN branch could help make the process more convenient. Some locations are listed for same-day printing, while others appear under Phase 2 of the rollout. Choosing the right office before leaving home can save time, reduce unnecessary travel and make the application process easier to manage.
The good news is that JPN has published official lists covering 64 entries across both phases. These comprise 40 locations listed for same-day printing and another 24 entries under Phase 2. Although an infographic circulating online refers to a network of 70 locations, not all 70 individual locations could be verified against JPN’s published lists. For this reason, the guide below follows the official directory rather than adding unconfirmed branch names.
What Is the New Generation MyKad?
MyKad is Malaysia’s national identity card, used for identification and various official transactions. The introduction of the New Generation MyKad marks an update to the country’s identity card arrangements, making it worthwhile for Malaysians to familiarise themselves with the latest application and printing information.
However, the rollout does not automatically mean that every existing MyKad holder must immediately replace their current card. Malaysians with an undamaged card should check JPN’s official requirements before deciding whether a replacement is necessary.
The most useful step is to identify the appropriate branch, check the services available there and confirm the requirements for the particular application. This is especially important for those travelling from another town or taking time off work to visit a JPN office.
40 JPN Locations Listed for Same-Day MyKad Printing
According to JPN’s official New Generation MyKad FAQ, 40 locations are listed for same-day printing of eligible applications. This may be particularly useful for applicants hoping to complete the process without waiting several working days.
The locations are spread across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, Putrajaya and Labuan. Here is the full list, organised by state to make it easier to find a suitable branch.

If you live near one of these locations, it may be worth checking whether the branch can handle your specific application before making the trip. Same-day printing depends on eligibility, the application involved and the branch’s arrangements, so applicants should not assume that every case will be completed within the same visit.
24 Additional Locations Listed Under Phase 2
JPN has also published a separate list of 24 entries under Phase 2. These provide additional locations for Malaysians to consider, particularly those who may live outside the main urban centres.
It is important to distinguish these locations from the first 40 branches listed for same-day printing. Being included in Phase 2 does not, by itself, guarantee the same collection time or service arrangements.

Putrajaya
- Bas MEKAR Putrajaya
Together, the two published lists contain 64 entries. Although some promotional material refers to 70 locations and mentions three Bas MEKAR locations, the remaining names could not be verified against the official MyKad printing lists. Applicants should therefore rely on the published directory and contact JPN if they need clarification about a particular mobile service.
How Long Does It Take to Get Your New MyKad?
One of the main reasons to check the printing locations is to understand how long the process might take.
JPN states that eligible and uncomplicated applications at branches equipped with the necessary printing facilities can be completed on the same day. Other branches may take approximately five working days.
You may also come across references to a 30-minute service. While this can sound appealing to people with busy schedules, it should not be treated as a guaranteed processing time for every applicant. Waiting times, application requirements and branch arrangements can affect how quickly the card is ready.
For a smoother visit, check the latest instructions before travelling and prepare the documents required for your particular application. If you are planning to visit during a busy period, allow extra time rather than arranging your entire day around an expected collection time.
How to Find Your Nearest JPN Branch
Before heading to a branch, Malaysians can use these official resources to confirm the available services, check branch information and make the necessary arrangements.
- New Generation MyKad FAQ and printing location lists: https://www.jpn.gov.my/soalan-lazim/slkadpengenalan/
- Distributed Printing Centre Directory: https://www.jpn.gov.my/hubungi-kami/senarai-pejabat-jpn-pusat-cetakan-teragih/
- JPN Branch Directory: https://www.jpn.gov.my/hubungi-kami/direktori-cawangan/
- Online Appointment Portal: https://mytemujanji.jpn.gov.my/
These links are useful starting points for checking the latest official information. Applicants should confirm whether an appointment is needed, whether the selected branch provides the required service and whether the card can be collected there.
It is also sensible to check the branch’s current operating hours and any specific application requirements before setting off. This is particularly important for those travelling long distances or visiting a location outside their home district.
Why Malaysians Should Check These Locations Before Applying
Knowing where to go can make a practical difference, especially for people who need their identity card for administrative matters, official identification or other everyday transactions.
First, checking the location list may help you find a branch closer to home or work. This can reduce travel costs and avoid unnecessary visits to offices that do not provide the service you need.
Second, choosing a location listed for same-day printing may help eligible applicants save time. While same-day completion is not guaranteed, checking the available facilities gives you a better starting point when planning your visit.
Third, having the official links in one place makes it easier to confirm the latest requirements instead of relying entirely on social media posts or infographics. This is particularly useful when different sources give different totals for the number of printing locations.
Finally, checking the requirements beforehand can help you prepare the correct documents and understand the expected collection arrangements. A little preparation could prevent an otherwise straightforward application from becoming an unnecessary hassle.
Final Reminder Before Replacing Your MyKad
The New Generation MyKad rollout began on 17 September 2026, and JPN’s published lists identify 40 locations for same-day printing and 24 additional Phase 2 entries.
Before making an application, use JPN’s official website to check the latest information for your chosen branch. Remember that the two lists contain 64 entries, not 70 individually verified locations, and that processing times vary depending on the application and branch.
Existing MyKad holders do not need to rush to replace an undamaged card simply because the new version has been introduced. Check whether your situation requires a replacement, confirm the applicable requirements and arrange an appointment if appropriate.
With the right information in hand, Malaysians can plan their visit more efficiently and avoid unnecessary trips when applying for or replacing their MyKad.
