Step by Step
How Does a Company Number Plate Purchase Work?
The company number plate purchase process generally involves confirming the vehicle arrangement, selecting the registration number, paying the required deposit and preparing the relevant documents before the applicable registration procedures are completed.
- 1
Confirm the vehicle and registration arrangement
We first establish whether the purchased registration number is intended for:
- A new company vehicle
- A used vehicle
The company should also confirm whether its vehicle dealer's runner or an S1-assisted runner will handle the relevant arrangements.
- 2
Select and confirm the registration number
The company can then select a suitable registration number and confirm:
- Availability
- Final selling price
- Transaction arrangement

Pay the deposit
For our purchase arrangement, the deposit is 10% of the selling price, subject to a minimum of RM2,000.
The deposit is:
- Non-refundable
- Non-transferable
- Not transferable to another registration number
After payment, we issue the relevant transaction or order documentation. The Invoice records the registration number, selling price and deposit paid.

The company should provide the relevant SSM documentation required for the transaction. Additional supporting documents may be necessary depending on the particular purchase and vehicle arrangement.
Our team can guide company buyers on the relevant documents to prepare based on the vehicle and transaction arrangement.

Complete the applicable vehicle and JPJ procedures
Once the documentation and payment arrangements are in place, the relevant vehicle and registration procedures can proceed.
Depending on the transaction, our team can coordinate runner arrangements, applicable PUSPAKOM procedures and relevant JPJ procedures.
What If the Company's New Vehicle Has Not Arrived Yet?
A company does not necessarily have to wait until its new vehicle arrives before arranging a registration number. The timing affects the payment and transaction arrangements:
- Vehicle expected within 60 days: Notify the person in charge at least five working days in advance so the relevant PUSPAKOM B2 inspection can be arranged.
- After the B2 process: The remaining balance must be paid in full before the relevant procedures continue.
- Vehicle does not arrive within 60 days: The remaining balance is still due within the 60-day period to complete the transaction arrangement.
For more details, see our guide on how to buy a number plate before your new car arrives.
Can a Company Use Its Own Runner?
Yes. Depending on the transaction arrangement, a company may use its vehicle dealer's runner or an S1-assisted runner.
Runner assistance may cover relevant:
- PUSPAKOM procedures
- Documentation coordination
- JPJ procedures
- Registration arrangements
- Transfer or interchange procedures
Companies already working with a vehicle dealer can learn more about when they may use their car dealer's runner.
Much of the administration may also be coordinated remotely through suitable runner arrangements. However, certain procedures may still require personal attendance or additional documentation.
What Happens After the Company Purchase Is Completed?
After payment and all applicable procedures have been completed, the purchased registration number is officially reflected on the relevant vehicle.
The customer will receive the Geran / vehicle registration document following completion of the relevant process.
