How Long Does VEP RFID Activation Take After Collection?

You've been through the application, the approval, and the collection. The VEP RFID tag is finally on your windscreen. It's a great feeling! But there's one final, crucial step before you can use it: activation. The tag needs to be activated in the central system and linked to your Touch 'n Go eWallet.

The official guideline provided by the authorities is that activation can take up to 24 hours from the time of installation. This is to allow for the data from the collection center to sync with the central JPJ database and the Touch 'n Go payment system.

Don't just guess. Here's how to be certain your tag is ready for the road.

• Step 1: Link Your Tag in the TNG eWallet: A few hours after installation, open your Touch 'n Go eWallet app. Navigate to the 'Toll' 'RFID' section and try to add your vehicle by entering its registration number.
• Step 2: Look for the 'Linked' Status: If the system finds your car and allows you to add it, you will see it listed under your vehicles. This is the best confirmation that your tag is active and linked to your eWallet for payment.
• Step 3 (Optional): Visit a Test Point: For ultimate peace of mind before a long trip, you can visit an RFID testing lane at a fitment center in Johor to see if the reader beeps and confirms the scan.

Waiting and wondering if your tag is active can be stressful. This is another area where our premium door-to-door service shines.
