If you are selling your car, buying a new vehicle, or changing ownership, you may wonder:
Can you transfer your NCD in Malaysia?
The answer is yes — but only under specific conditions.
Here’s exactly how NCD transfer works.
When Can You Transfer NCD?
You can transfer your NCD if:
- You are replacing your old vehicle with a new one
- The new vehicle is registered under the same name
- The previous policy has been cancelled properly
Your NCD belongs to the policyholder — not the car.
Can You Transfer NCD to a New Car?
Yes.
This is the most common scenario.
Example:
You sell your old car with 45% NCD.
You buy a new car under your name.
You may transfer the 45% NCD to the new policy.
However:
- The old vehicle policy must be cancelled
- No overlapping active policies are allowed
Can You Transfer NCD to Another Person?
Generally, no.
NCD is not transferable between different individuals.
Exceptions may apply for:
- Transfer between spouses (subject to insurer approval)
- Corporate vehicles under the same company
Always confirm with your insurer before assuming eligibility.
Can You Transfer NCD Between Company and Personal Car?
This depends on:
- Ownership structure
- Business registration
- Insurer policy rules
Most insurers treat company and personal policies separately unless documentation supports continuity.
What Documents Are Required for NCD Transfer?
Typically:
- Cancellation confirmation of old policy
- Vehicle ownership documents
- NRIC or company registration documents
- Completed transfer form (if required by insurer)
Your new insurer will verify your NCD status through the central ISM database.
What Happens If You Don’t Transfer NCD Immediately?
If you do not use your NCD:
- It may lapse after a period of inactivity
- Some insurers allow a grace period (often up to 12 months)
Always confirm time limits before delaying transfer.
Does Transferring NCD Affect Your Percentage?
No.
Your accumulated NCD percentage remains the same.
However, your premium may differ because:
- Vehicle type changes
- Insured value changes
- Risk profile changes
The percentage remains intact, but the premium calculation may vary.
Can You Split NCD Across Two Cars?
No.
You cannot apply one NCD percentage to multiple vehicles simultaneously.
If you own two cars:
- Only one policy can carry your NCD
- The other vehicle starts at 0%
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to cancel old policy before transferring
- Assuming NCD follows the car instead of the policyholder
- Delaying transfer beyond insurer’s grace period
- Believing NCD can be shared freely between family members
Understanding the rules prevents renewal complications.

Usually within a few working days after insurer verification.
