As 2025 begins, are you ready to embark on a new chapter in your life? Many of us have set ambitious goals for our businesses, planned strategies, and are gearing up to turn plans into actions. While you're focused on achieving these goals, it’s crucial to ensure all necessary documents are in place—especially those required by health authorities when they visit your premises.
What
You Need Before Registering
Prepare
the following documents in softcopy format (preferably PDF):
- Trading
license
- SSM
document or other related business documents
- Front
side of the trading license holder’s IC (identity card)
Additionally,
you’ll need:
- An
email address
- A
password for your FOSIM account
Step
1: Register as a FOSIM User
- Open
your browser, search for “FOSIM,” and access the official website: https://fosim.moh.gov.my.
- Click
on DAFTAR to register as a new user.
- Upload
a photocopy of your IC.
- Verify
your name, IC number, and email address. Your email address will serve
as your FOSIM ID.
- Remember
your email and password, as you’ll need them to access your FOSIM account.
Tip:
Many users forget which email they used for registration. Keep a record to
avoid this issue.

your business details, such as:

The
system will generate two versions of the premise registration slip (in English
and Malay). Save the PDF copy on your computer, print it on A4 paper, frame it,
