Technical specifications
MyKad start is a contact card solution developed and manufactured by IRIS Corporation. Made from PCs with dimensions in ISO/IEC 7816 ID-1 format (standard credit card format), the starting card has a 32-bit EEPROM chip (which can be removed electronically readable by Programmable Read-Only Memory) running on M-COS (MyKad Chip Operating System). In November 2002, capacity was increased to 64kb.
The upgraded and current version of MyKad is a hybrid card that contains two chips for the contact interface and no contacts. Currently, the MyKad hybrid type is only published in the Malaysian state using the Touch 'n Go app.
The MyKad chip has data retention for up to 20 years, while the card itself has a period of 10 years and has been tested in accordance with the ISO 10373 standard.
Feasibility and adoption
All Malaysian citizens and permanent residents aged 12 and above are eligible to earn MyKad. From 2001, it gradually replaced the older Malaysian Identity Card system, which had been used since 1949 under British colonial rule, with the intention of becoming public in 2007. Children were issued with MyKid after birth. This card is "upgraded" to MyKad on the 12th anniversary. The MyKad should be replaced when someone reaches 18 years, because it is a requirement that the photo is "current".
Adoption is optional, but it is driven by waiving of application fees between RM20 and RM50 up to December 31, 2005. On December 27, 2005, 1,180,208 Malaysians still held an old identity card. After the waiving period ends on December 31, 2005, each new application first comes at a cost of RM10.
National Registration Registration Card Identity Number (KTP)
The current format of Malaysian identity card numbers, introduced in 1990, features 12 digits separated into three blocks with hyphens, as illustrated below:
- YYMMDD-PB - ### G
The format above is the official format printed on official identity documents eg. MyKad. However, for database purposes (eg sorting), NRIC numbers may be deleted, then:
- YYMMDDPB ### G
The first six digits indicate a person's birth date in ISO 8601: 2000 format; for example, someone who was born on September 16, 1963, would have 630916 as the first six digits of their identity card. A person born on January 1, 1900 will have 000101 as the first number, equal to the person born on January 1, 2000. In cases where the actual date of birth of a person corresponds to the Gregorian calendar is uncertain, the date when the person first applied for MyKad was used (the being someone's birthday for official purposes), recorded by an asterisk (*).
PB, the seventh and eighth digits, based on where the person was born, to be referred to from the birth certificate after the MyKad application. Police and armed forces are assigned with unique numbers, 88 and 99 respectively during their service hours. After termination of their service, they will get MyKad with a middle number based on their birthplace.
###, the ninth till the eleventh is the generic custom number generated by the National Registry Department of Malaysian computer system.
G, the 12th digit indicates the gender of the person. The odd number for G shows the male while the even number indicates the female.
At the back of the card, there is an additional 2-digit number after the 12-digit number to indicate the number of MyKad that someone previously held.
Birthplace
Prior to 2001, initially, anyone born overseas used a digit 71 or 72 on their identity card (High Quality Identity Card), regardless with or without at least one parent with Malaysian citizenship. An estimated 171,023 registered voters are born overseas and are using 71 or 72 digits in MyKad.
However, since 2001, every baby born overseas after 2001 is referred to by their birthplace rather than the common digit 71 or 72 in their MyKad. It also affects anyone (including citizens or non-citizens) born overseas regardless of the year of their birth; who implemented MyKad without holding a High Quality Identity Card after 2001. However, if any person born overseas has a High Quality Identity Card which means they registered their ID before 2001, they still retain the 71 or 72 digits for used in their MyKad identity card number. High Quality Identity Cards were used as Malaysian identity cards from 1990 to 2001. After 2001, someone with a High Quality Identity Card is expected to update their High Quality Identity Card with the new MyKad.
Apps in MyKad
The MyKad project developed was originally intended to have four functions:
- Identity card, including fingerprint and photo
- Driving license
- Travel documents in Malaysia and some neighboring countries. However, a conventional passport is still required for international travel: the card aims to reduce congestion on the border by allowing the use of unmanned gates using biometric identification (fingerprint).
- Health information storage
Current app
Four further applications were added before or during the initial release,
- e-cash, an "electronic wallet" system intended for low-volume, high-volume transactions (maximum limit is US $ 500)
- ATM Integration
- Touch 'n Go, Malaysian toll freeway system and also public transport payment
- Digital certificates, commonly known as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), are only supported by 64Kb version (implemented at the end of 2002)
Currently, most functions are still not widely used because they are not widely promoted.
Upcoming/Proposed Applications
Expandable card designs may lead to creep functionality. Further applications envisioned by the government include:
- Frequent traveler cards
- Joining the Multipurpose Payment Card ('PMPC'), provides MyKad credit and debit card functions that will pave the way for other financial uses
Personal identification
MyKad should be taken at any time. Failure to do so could result in a fine of between RM3,000 and RM20,000 or a jail term of up to three years.
No unauthorized person, including the security guard, is allowed to keep MyKads others. Only those authorized by the National Registration Department, such as police and immigration officials, can do so.
For Muslims, "Islam" is printed on the card under the image of the holder. This is to assist the enforcement of Shariah law which applies only to Muslims.
When the states of Sabah and Sarawak maintain separate immigration controls, residents who have permanent residences in the states of Sabah and Sarawak are denoted by the letters "H" and "K" respectively in the lower right corner of the card.
Residents from Peninsular Malaysia traveling to Sabah and Sarawak may produce MyKad upon arrival to obtain Documents as a Substitute for Internal Travel Documents (IMM.114) for social and business visits of no more than three months. Sabah and Sarawak each maintain a separate immigration control system, and the Malaysian Peninsula is subject to immigration control in two states.
Malaysia and Brunei signed the frequent travelers card (FTC) agreement on September 10, 2007, allowing Malaysian and Bruneian travelers to register using their national identity cards for travel between Malaysia and Brunei.
When Malaysia stops issuing and renewing Passports Restricted to citizens of Peninsular Malaysia to travel to Singapore from 1 January 2005, Malaysia is considered to be negotiating with Singapore to allow frequent Malaysian tourists to enter Singapore using MyKad. However, Singapore rejects the use of MyKad by frequent Malaysian tourists to enter the country, citing security concerns.
