How to Switch Cars (If You Have Multiple) Under One Owner: VEP Tips

Many Singaporean households own more than one car, offering flexibility for daily commutes and weekend adventures. If you're one such owner, you might wonder how the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system applies when you want to switch which car you drive to Malaysia.

The fundamental principle of the VEP system is that each individual vehicle must have its own separate, approved VEP and its own unique RFID tag. You cannot use one VEP RFID tag for multiple cars, even if you are the sole owner of all of them.

If all the cars are registered under your name, you can manage all their VEP applications and statuses from a single account on the official JPJ VEP portal (vep.jpj.gov.my). This centralizes your VEP administration.

Before each trip, ensure you're ready with the specific car you're driving:

• Verify VEP Status: Log into your VEP portal and confirm that the specific car you intend to drive has an 'Active' VEP status.
• Check RFID Tag: Ensure the correct VEP RFID tag is physically installed on the windscreen of the car you're driving. Each tag has the car's registration number printed on it.
• Top Up eWallet: Confirm your linked Touch 'n Go eWallet has sufficient balance for the trip.
• Documents: Carry the necessary physical or digital copies of the LTA log card and insurance for the car you are driving.
