Technical Guide: Fixing the "NRIC vs. Passport" Sync Error (Last Updated: March 2026)

One of the most common reasons VEP applications fail in 2026 is the ID Mismatch. The Problem: You registered your Touch 'n Go eWallet using your Passport, but you registered your VEP Portal account using your Singapore NRIC. The Result: The RFID tag will physically install, but it will never activate because the backend systems can't find a matching ID.

How to Solve the ID Mismatch: Step-by-Step

Follow these steps to resolve the NRIC vs. Passport sync error between your TNG eWallet and VEP Portal:

  • Step 1: Open your TNG eWallet App.
  • Step 2: Go to 'Profile' > 'Account Verification.'
  • Step 3: If it shows your Passport, you must use the 'Help Center' chat to request an ID update to your NRIC (provide your Singapore Log Card as proof).
  • Step 4: Once TNG updates your ID, the VEP portal will sync within 24 hours.
