Can I Change My Number Plate After VEP Approval?

Planning to change your car number plate after getting VEP approval? Here’s what to know and how MyMechanic can handle the re-registration process for you.

Why You Need to Update Your VEP After a Plate Change

If your number plate changes and you don’t update your VEP, the Malaysian system will not recognize your vehicle, leading to failed RFID scans, denied entry at the border, or even fines. The VEP is directly tied to your car’s number plate, so you must update your details promptly—either via the JPJ VEP portal or through a trusted service partner.

How to Change Your VEP After a Plate Number Change

Log in to your account on the JPJ VEP portal.
Remove or deactivate the old vehicle profile tied to your previous plate.
Submit a new VEP registration using your updated number plate, including fresh uploads of your road tax, insurance, and vehicle log card.
Wait for JPJ approval. This follows the typical review timeline.
Collect or have your new RFID tag installed, linked to your new plate.

Pro Tip: Avoid errors, missed uploads, or status delays—let MyMechanic handle it quickly and professionally from start to finish.
