According to JPN, those who apply to replace the MyKad over the phone need to meet the following conditions:
- For Malaysian citizens only.
- Apply for replacement of normal MyKad or defective chip/damaged card.
- Application fee of RM10 (payment will be charged upon card collection).
- The MyKad holder can only complete the application and collection of the MyKad; applicants under 18 must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians to pick up the MyKad.
- The MyKad can be collected at all MyKad Printing and Distribution Centres (DPP) within 30 minutes after completing the application.
- Any changes to address, religion, name and photo are not allowed.
- A loss fee will be charged if the applicant fails to present the old MyCard when collecting the MyKad at the counter.
MyKad collection time for successful online application transactions is different depending on the choice of collection centre as follows:
- After 30 minutes at JPN WP Putrajaya Headquarters, State Headquarters and all UTC Branches
- After five working days at the Peninsular Malaysia NRD branch
