Driving licence renewal in Brunei

Written from published rules on 27 August 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Land Transport Department (Jabatan Pengangkutan Darat - JPD), Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications (MTIC).

Renewing a driving licence in Brunei typically involves submitting an application with the necessary documents and payment to the Land Transport Department. The process can often be completed on the same day if all requirements are met.

Your timing

It is generally advisable for individuals to begin the renewal process a few weeks before their current licence expires. This allows ample time to gather required documents, schedule any necessary appointments, and account for potential processing times or unforeseen delays.

Start 1 days ahead

Renewals are often processed on the same day, assuming all documentation is complete and accepted.

The process

  1. 1Prepare the required documents, including the existing driving licence and identification.
  2. 2Visit a branch of the Land Transport Department (JPD).
  3. 3Submit the application form and all supporting documents.
  4. 4Pay the applicable renewal fee.
  5. 5Collect the renewed driving licence upon successful processing.

What to bring

  • Original and photocopy of the existing driving licence
  • Original and photocopy of identity card (IC) for Bruneian citizens or residents, or valid passport and visa/residence permit for non-citizens
  • Completed application form (often available at JPD counters or for download)

Driving licence renewal fees are subject to the validity period requested (e.g., BND$20 for 1 year, BND$30 for 2 years, BND$50 for 3 years, BND$70 for 5 years). It is recommended to confirm the current fee schedule with the Land Transport Department.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Ensure all required documents are brought, including both originals and photocopies, to avoid delays.
  • Check the validity of the current licence before visiting to ensure renewal is not overdue.
  • Verify the operating hours of the Land Transport Department branches to plan the visit effectively.
