全国 MyKad 打印服务在 8 月 26 日至 31 日期间预计暂受影响，国民登记局（JPN）正进行新一代身份证转换。 古晋民众若近期没有紧急需要办理 MyKad 更换或补办，可先暂缓申请。JPN 表示，转换工作涉及现有 MyKad 结构的更替，受影响的是打印环节；这并不表示全国所有国民登记局柜台都全面关闭。 为年满 12 岁孩子首次申请 MyKad 的父母或监护人，也受促稍等一段时间，让孩子在新卡开始发出后领取新一代 MyKad。若有紧急证件事务，前往柜台前先向 JPN 确认最新办理安排，因为公告没有说明所有新卡的统一正式发出日期。

MyKad printing services nationwide are expected to face a temporary disruption from Aug 26 to 31 as the National Registration Department (JPN) transitions to the new-generation identity card. For Kuching residents without an urgent need, JPN advises postponing MyKad replacement or exchange applications until the transition period is over. The disruption concerns printing as the department moves away from the existing card structure; it does not amount to an announcement that every National Registration Department counter is closed. Parents or guardians applying for a child’s first MyKad at age 12 are also encouraged to wait, so the child can receive the new-generation card when issuance begins. Anyone with an urgent identity-document matter should confirm the latest arrangement with JPN before going to a counter, as the notice does not give a single nationwide date for every new card to be issued.
