How to Share VEP Tag Info with Family / Co-Drivers (Multiple Users)

It's common for family cars to be driven by multiple members, or for friends to share driving duties on a long road trip to Malaysia. While the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is tied to the car and its registered owner, it's crucial that anyone driving the VEP-registered vehicle understands the system and has access to the necessary information.

The VEP is issued for a specific Singapore-registered vehicle and is linked to the passport of its registered owner. It is not transferable to other vehicles or other individuals.

Ensure any co-driver is fully briefed and equipped with the following:

• Confirm Active Status: Show them how to quickly check the VEP status on the JPJ portal.
• RFID Tag Location: Point out the exact location of the VEP RFID tag on the windscreen and remind them not to obstruct it.
• How to Scan: Explain the process of approaching the gantry slowly (20 km/h) and waiting for the beep.
• How to Check Balance: Show them how to check the eWallet balance via the app.
• How to Top Up: Guide them on how to top up the eWallet if needed.
• Their own valid Passport.
• Their own valid Singapore Driving Licence.
• A copy of the car's LTA Log Card.
• A copy of the car's Insurance Certificate (showing Malaysia coverage).
• Recommended: A simple Letter of Authorization from you (the owner) stating you permit them to drive the car into Malaysia.
