Annual VEP Checklist for Frequent Travelers: Stay Compliant

Driving frequently to Malaysia from Singapore is easier—and worry-free—when you know your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and supporting requirements are always up to date. At MyMechanic, we help travelers like you avoid border headaches, fines, or unexpected trip disruptions with this simple, practical annual checklist.

Your 2025 VEP Annual Compliance Checklist

1. Check VEP Validity & Expiry

Log in to the official VEP portal and confirm your VEP is active.
Note your expiry date and set a renewal reminder at least one month before.

2. Update Vehicle and Personal Details

Have you changed address, changed number plate, updated insurance, or transferred ownership?
Update your VEP profile online right away to match your current records.

3. Review Road Tax and Insurance

Ensure your Singapore road tax and insurance are still valid for the coming year.
Your insurance policy must clearly include Malaysia coverage—check policy wording for cross-border protection.

4. Test Your RFID Tag

Inspect the RFID sticker for damage or peeling.
Test your tag before any big trips (some service centers and MyMechanic can assist).
Report or replace immediately if lost, tampered, or not scanning.

5. Top Up Your Touch 'n Go eWallet

Make sure your Touch 'n Go card or eWallet has enough balance for Road Charge (RC), tolls, and emergencies.
Update payment info if you've switched credit cards or phone numbers.

6. Download and Print Supporting Documents

Border authorities may request: VEP registration printout (or digital proof), valid insurance, and road tax.
Keep both digital copies (on your phone) and paper printouts in your glove compartment.

7. Check For Outstanding Fines or Blacklist Status

Pay any outstanding fines or VEP summons—unpaid summons could prevent you from re-entering Malaysia.
Check your VEP and vehicle status via the official portal or through MyMechanic's advisory channels.

8. Schedule Your Annual VEP Review with MyMechanic

Our team can help you with renewal reminders, RFID checks, profile updates, and even assist when you hit paperwork or portal problems.
Avoid the queues and confusion—get one-on-one guidance whenever you need it.

9. Bonus: Update Your Travel Essentials

Carry both sets of keys, power bank, cross-border charger, insurance contact, and emergency details.
Let family know your planned route and checkpoint entry/exit.

Why Annual Compliance Matters

Malaysian border enforcement for VEP, insurance, and RC requirements is now stricter than ever. Even regulars make mistakes—expired insurance, an old sticker, missing updates, or a low eWallet balance can all spoil your journey.
