Common questions

Is an e-SPA legally valid?

Yes. The e-SPA is approved by KPKT and carries the same legal effect as a printed, signed SPA.

Do I still need a lawyer?

Yes. An e-SPA doesn't replace your solicitor.

What if I'm not Malaysian?

You verify your identity in IDSaya using your passport instead of a MyKad. The app supports a range of country dialling codes for registration.

When does e-SPA apply?

From 1 January 2026, SPAs for residential units under construction are signed through HIMS.

Is my information safe?

Signing happens through the Government's HIMS platform, with identity verification and a time-stamped audit trail for every signature.
