How to Change Car Ownership & Manage VEP Validity

Selling or buying a car with an active VEP? Here's what you need to know.

The Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is tied to both the specific vehicle and its registered owner. This means that when a car changes hands, its VEP status is directly affected. Understanding the correct procedures for VEP deregistration and new application is crucial to avoid fines and legal complications.

The most important principle to remember is that a VEP is strictly non-transferable. It cannot be passed from one owner to another. When a car is sold, the old VEP becomes invalid, and the new owner must apply for a brand new VEP.

To protect yourself from any future liabilities, you must deregister the car from your VEP portal.

As the new owner, you cannot use the previous owner's VEP. You must apply for your own.

Navigating VEP requirements during a car ownership change can be confusing. MyMechanic offers comprehensive support for both sellers and buyers.
