How to Download MySejahtera
TUTORIAL – The Best Way to Register and Activate MySejahtera App to Avoid Errors
- Go App Store or Play Store
- Search for “mysejahtera”
- Install/ GET
- Open App and “Get Started”
How to Register your Account
- Visit: mysejahtera.malaysia.gov.my/register
- Click “Register Here”.
- You can use you Phone Number or Email Address to Register (This will be your MySJ ID, which can be changed later). If your contact number is not a permanent one, or in case of lost phone, it is a better idea to use email address as the MySejahtera ID.
- To register with Email, tap on “I would like to use Email to Register” below the Register button
- Check “I’m not a robot”. Select images to verify that you are not a robot.
- Click “Register”.
- Then an OTP will be sent to your phone if you choose Phone, or a Confirmation email sent to your email account you registered with.
For registration with phone number as user ID, you need to input the country code in front.
- Fill in the details. Make sure that the information is correct (particularly Name, NRIC/ Passport No.), otherwise you may encounter issues getting your digital vaccine certificate. If you are Malaysian, it is recommended to use your NRIC instead of Passport number.
- You have to enter an address in Malaysia for contact tracing when you are in the country. If you don’t have one at the moment, you can use for example your relative, university (for students), company, or hotel’s address as temporary address.
- You can enter an international phone number if you don’t have a Malaysian number now, which can be changed later.
- Confirm Password.
Success! You can now login to your account on the MySejahtera App.
The first time you login, you will have to answer some health assessment questions. For question 5. Have you travelled abroad within the last 14 days? Answer “No”. If you answer “Yes” your status will be changed to PUS (Person Under Surveillance).

Try Step 1. if it doesn’t work, go to the next step:
- Register using email
REVIEW: I am based in the Uk and could access the MySejahtera app without problems. So I’m not sure if you will need a VPN. I registered with email address as the OTP wasn’t being sent to my Uk mobile (Source)
- Use the website link: mysejahtera-Register to register instead of using the phone App. Register with email, and remember to check your Spam Folder for the confirmation email. Try different browsers. The best combination according to comments: gmail on Microsoft Edge (Source)
- Use a VPN
REVIEW: I’m in CA too and had the same issue. Used Avast VPN and was able to access MySejahtera app. Purchased Avast SecureLine VPN and that works! (Source)
- Get you friend/ family in Malaysia to get a new SIM card to register for you
REVIEW: I downloaded MySejahtera but I keep getting this error when trying to register using my email (using phone number in Canada doesn’t work). After 4 days of trying to register using email, phone number (failed to get OTP using Canadian phone number), using VPN setting location in Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, India, Australia, using laptop, using the website, which all failed, I used this method and it worked: Get your friend/ family in Malaysia to get a new SIM card and register for you (Source)
