Replacing a Damaged VEP Tag: Costs and Appointment Slots (Last Updated: March 2026)

VEP RFID tags often peel or get damaged due to high-pressure car washes, extreme heat, or accidental removal. The replacement process is not as simple as ordering a new tag directly.

How to Replace a Damaged VEP Tag

Follow these steps if your VEP RFID tag has been damaged or peeled off:

  • Log into the JPJ VEP portal and report your existing tag as Damaged. This step is mandatory to unlock the replacement option.
  • Once the Damaged status is confirmed, you can request a new RFID tag through the portal.
  • The replacement costs RM10 plus applicable service fees.
  • Choose to receive the new tag by post or book a professional installation appointment for correct placement.

Why High-Pressure Car Washes Damage VEP Tags

The adhesive on VEP RFID tags is designed for standard car wash pressure. High-pressure jets can lift the edges of the tag, compromising the adhesive and eventually causing the tag to peel. We recommend using touchless car washes or informing the attendant about your RFID tag before every wash.
