How to Apply for Inter-District Travel from PDRM:
Now that you understand the different districts in Penang, what next? While we strongly encourage you guys to stay home, some might need to cross CMCO areas for important reasons. So here’s a straightforward guide on how to get a permit from PDRM (Police Diraja Malaysia). IMPORTANT: You will only need to apply for this permit if you don’t have any authorization letter from work.
- Fill up the form (attached above) in 2 copies.
- Attach 2 copies of your identity card, 2 copies of the identity card of the other occupant in your vehicle (if there is one), 2 copies of any supporting letters or documents.
- Drive to your nearest police station and hand in the form. If everything is in order, approval will be given on the spot.
- The police will keep a copy of the above forms, IC and documents.

Note: You don’t need to apply for this permit if you have emergency cases or accidents that requires treatment at a nearby hospital/ clinic. Likewise, if you have a medical appointment, just show the appointment card or letter.
