A Quick Guide To JTK License Renewals
In Malaysia, private employment agency licenses, also known as a JTK or APS licenses, are valid for two years from date of issuance, after which they must be renewed.
Yes, this applies to all three categories of employment agencies!
If your agency’s license expiration date is coming up, our guide provides a full overview of the JTK renewal process, including:
- renewal requirements
- required documents
- fees, and
- how to submit your renewal application
Note: This guide specifically covers renewals for existing agencies, so those wanting to register a new one can read our guide to open an employment agency in Malaysia.
Otherwise, let’s begin.
Renewal requirements
To qualify for a JTK license renewal, the agency must simply continue to meet initial registration requirements for their license category, namely:
- paid up capital
- directorship
- business premise, and
- company details
Proof that an agency meets these requirements is done through required documents.
Required documents
The main JTK license renewal document is known as Borang 2 and must be completed and submitted along with these supporting documents:
- Latest company SSM profile
- Latest annual return
- Bank statement
- Copy of current JTK license
- Copy of Local Authority (PBT) license / temporary approval letter
- Copy of MyKad / passport and shareholding details of individual shareholders
- SSM profile and shareholding details of corporate shareholders
Note: The business address in your SSM profile, license, and application form must be identical.
Renewal fees
JTK license renewals incur two fees:
- A processing fee of RM100
- A license fee of RM500
This of course doesn’t include additional charges if engaging license application service providers such as MISHU–but we don’t charge that much 🙂
Submitting your JTK renewal application
Due to the high-risk nature of dealing with manpower, renewals for employment agencies must be done in person at the nearest Labour Department office.

If there are no issues, your renewal should be processed within thirty working days and will be valid for another two years.
And of course, if you don’t have time to sort out your license renewal, MISHU would love to help!
