A step-by-step guide to checking your sole proprietorship or business registration expiry date online — fast, free, and without queuing at an SSM counter. For all SSM tools and guides, visit myezbiz.com.my.
If you run a sole proprietorship or partnership in Malaysia, keeping track of your SSM registration expiry date is one of the most important compliance tasks you have. An expired registration means you are legally not allowed to operate your business — and the consequences can range from rejected bank transactions to enforcement action by SSM.
The good news? Checking your SSM expiry date takes less than two minutes — and you can do it entirely online without visiting a single government counter. This guide covers every method available in 2025, so you always know exactly when your registration is due for renewal. For quick access to all SSM tools, bookmark myezbiz.com.my.

Many business owners only discover their SSM registration has expired when something goes wrong — a bank rejects their transaction, a customer asks for a valid certificate, or a supplier refuses to proceed without proof of active registration.
Here is why staying on top of your SSM expiry date is non-negotiable:
| Situation | Impact if Registration Expired |
|---|---|
| Opening or maintaining a business bank account | Bank may freeze or refuse to open account without a valid SSM certificate |
| Applying for government grants or tenders | Application will be automatically rejected — active registration is mandatory |
| Applying for SME loans or financing | Most banks and financial institutions require an active SSM certificate |
| Selling on e-commerce platforms (Shopee, Lazada) | Platform compliance checks may suspend your seller account |
| Filing business taxes with LHDN | Tax filings may be queried or rejected if registration was inactive during the period |
| Displaying SSM BizTrust QR Code | Your BizTrust badge will show inactive status when customers scan it |
⚠️ Legal Reminder
Operating a business with an expired SSM registration is an offence under the Registration of Businesses Act 1956 and may attract fines or enforcement action by SSM.
The EzBiz Online portal is SSM’s official platform for registering and managing sole proprietorships and partnerships. It is the fastest and most direct way to check your registration expiry date — and it is completely free. Access it via myezbiz.com.my.
Step-by-step:
💡 Pro Tip
While you are logged in, take note of the expiry dates for ALL businesses registered under your MyKad — especially if you have branches or multiple registrations. Renew everything that is due within the next 60 days.
No EzBiz account yet? You can register on the spot using your MyKad number and email address. Visit myezbiz.com.my for a step-by-step account registration guide.
If you need a formal, certified copy of your business registration details — including the exact expiry date — you can purchase a Business Information Report from any of SSM’s authorised information portals for RM10.
This method is particularly useful when you need a document to show a third party (e.g., a bank, landlord, or supplier) that includes your registration validity period.
Authorised SSM information portals:
| Portal | Website | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| SSM e-Info | www.ssm-einfo.my | Quick business & company search |
| MYDATA-SSM | www.mydata-ssm.com.my | Bulk data & detailed reports |
| SSM Search | www.ssmsearch.com | Company and business search |
| SSM SAFEDATA | www.safedata-ssm.com | Certified true copy documents |

💡 When to Use This Method
Use this method when you need to share proof of your SSM registration with a third party, or when you are unable to access your EzBiz login credentials.
SSM’s official mobile application — MySSM — is available for both Android and iOS devices. While primarily used for scanning SSM BizTrust QR codes to verify business legitimacy, the app also allows users to search for basic business registration information.

💡 Also Useful For
Use the MySSM app to verify the legitimacy of suppliers or business partners before entering into a contract — scan their BizTrust QR code to instantly confirm their SSM status.
If online methods are not accessible to you, or if you prefer face-to-face assistance, you can visit any SSM branch office across Malaysia and request a manual status check.

| Expired — registration has lapsed | Reactivate immediately via SSM’s Business Renewal & Activation Platform on EzBiz. Do not continue operating until renewed. |
| Terminated — business is closed | You cannot reactivate a terminated registration. Register a new business as a fresh application. |

💡 Smart Tip — Renew for 5 Years
You can renew your SSM registration for up to 5 years in a single transaction. Paying upfront for multiple years saves you time, reduces the risk of missing a renewal, and costs the same per year.
