PUSPAKOM B2 · NUMBER PLATE TRANSFER
What Is a PUSPAKOM B2 Inspection for Number Plate Transfer in Malaysia?
A PUSPAKOM B2 inspection may be required for certain number plate transfer or interchange procedures in Malaysia before the relevant JPJ transaction. Knowing when the inspection applies, which vehicle needs to be inspected and what happens afterwards can help you prepare the process more smoothly.
If you are planning to transfer or interchange a vehicle registration number, the key is to follow the inspection, documentation and JPJ steps in the correct sequence. At S1 Number Plate, our team helps customers coordinate the relevant PUSPAKOM, runner, documentation and JPJ arrangements when these steps apply to their number plate transaction.
What Is a PUSPAKOM B2 Inspection?
In the context of a number plate interchange, a PUSPAKOM B2 inspection is a vehicle inspection stage used when the registration number process requires an inspection before proceeding with JPJ. Once the inspection requirements are completed, the approved B2 report can form part of the supporting documentation for the subsequent JPJ transaction.

When Is PUSPAKOM B2 Needed for a Number Plate Transfer?
A PUSPAKOM B2 inspection may be relevant when an existing vehicle is involved in a registration number transfer or interchange and the process requires an inspection before the JPJ transaction. It should not be assumed that every number plate transaction automatically requires the same inspection.
| Situation | What You Should Know |
|---|---|
| Number plate interchange involving an original vehicle | The original vehicle undergoes the relevant PUSPAKOM inspection for the confirmed interchange process. |
| Different registration number arrangement | The inspection required depends on the specific process. |
| Imported vehicle involved | Imported vehicles may be subject to different or additional inspection and documentation requirements depending on the transaction. |
| Unsure which process applies | Confirm the vehicle and registration number arrangement before arranging the inspection. |
This is why our team first looks at the actual vehicle and registration number arrangement rather than assuming that every customer needs the same process.

THE INTERCHANGE SEQUENCE
How Does the PUSPAKOM B2 Process Fit Into a Number Plate Interchange?
Where a PUSPAKOM B2 inspection applies to a number plate interchange, it takes place before the relevant JPJ transaction. The typical sequence is:
01
Arrange the PUSPAKOM inspection
The inspection is scheduled for the original vehicle based on the interchange arrangement.
02
Complete the vehicle inspection
The original vehicle is presented to PUSPAKOM for the required inspection and vehicle-condition checks that apply.
03
Prepare the approved B2 report and documents
Once the inspection requirements are completed, the approved B2 report can be prepared together with the supporting documents needed for the next stage.
04
Proceed with the JPJ transaction
The approved B2 report and supporting documents are then used for the registration number interchange procedure at JPJ.
05
Complete the registration arrangement
Once the required JPJ procedures are completed, the registration number arrangement can proceed according to the approved transaction.
Our team helps customers understand how these stages connect so that the inspection, documentation, runner arrangements and JPJ submission can be coordinated in the correct sequence.
What Should You Prepare After the B2 Inspection?
After the PUSPAKOM inspection, the approved B2 report is prepared together with the other documents needed for the JPJ transaction.
For a confirmed interchange process, relevant documents may include:
- Approved PUSPAKOM B2 report
- Relevant JPJ K1 documentation
- Applicant identification documents
- Other applicable supporting documents for the specific transaction
The documents needed can vary depending on the vehicle, applicant and registration number arrangement. We therefore confirm the applicable process before customers proceed rather than treating every interchange or transfer as identical.
Can a Runner Make the B2 and JPJ Process Easier to Manage?
Yes. Customers do not necessarily need to manage every administrative stage themselves. Depending on the transaction, a runner can help coordinate parts of the PUSPAKOM inspection, documentation and JPJ process.
Customers generally have two practical options:
Our team works with runners across multiple states in Malaysia, making it possible to coordinate much of the administrative process remotely. However, customers may still need to attend personally for certain JPJ procedures depending on the transaction.
