How to Set Alerts for VEP Expiry or Renewal Notifications

Your VEP is valid for 5 years, but it's easy to forget about its expiry date amidst your busy schedule. Letting your VEP expire can lead to serious consequences, including fines, denied entry into Malaysia, or even blacklisting. The key to continuous compliance is setting up effective alerts and reminders.

The Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) does send out email reminders as your VEP approaches its expiry date. However, these emails can sometimes:

• End up in your spam or junk mail folder.
• Be sent to an old email address if you haven't updated your contact details in the VEP portal.
• Be missed amidst a flood of other emails.

Take control of your VEP validity by setting up your own reminders.

• Go to your preferred digital calendar.
• Create an event for your VEP expiry date (found in your VEP approval email or on the portal).
• Set multiple reminders: e.g., 3 months before, 1 month before, 1 week before.
• Include notes in the event with the VEP portal URL and a reminder to check your insurance validity.
