Keeping your VEP information accurate and up-to-date
Once your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is approved, you might assume everything is locked in. But what if you change your car, transfer ownership, or update your insurance policy? The good news is: Yes, you can update your vehicle details even after VEP approval — and MyMechanic is here to help you every step of the way.
There are several common scenarios that require VEP amendments:
Even minor updates, if left uncorrected, can affect your ability to enter Malaysia or pass through RFID checkpoints smoothly. The Malaysian authorities are increasingly strict about data accuracy in their digital systems.
Through the official VEP portal, you can update various vehicle and owner details:
All changes must be verified and approved by the Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) before they are reflected in the system. This verification process helps prevent fraud and ensures all cross-border vehicles meet current regulations.
Maintaining accurate VEP information is crucial for several reasons:
If your vehicle details don't match your RFID tag or insurance, you may face unnecessary delays at Malaysian immigration checkpoints. Officers need to verify all information matches their digital records.
Outdated information could lead to fines or temporary VEP suspension. Malaysian authorities have become increasingly strict about compliance.
If your VEP shows expired insurance, you risk driving without valid coverage in Malaysia - a serious legal and financial risk.
Keeping your records clean ensures smoother renewals and prevents issues if Malaysia implements additional requirements.
To avoid these problems, timely updates are essential whenever your vehicle or ownership details change.
Here's how to properly update your VEP information:
Gather all necessary updated documents (e.g., new insurance certificate, ownership transfer papers, road tax renewal). Ensure all documents are clear, valid, and match your vehicle details exactly.
Log in to the official VEP portal and navigate to the amendment section. Upload scanned copies of your updated documents. For complex changes, you may need to complete additional declaration forms.
JPJ officers will review your submission. This typically takes 3-5 working days. You may receive requests for additional verification if there are discrepancies.
Once approved, you'll receive email confirmation. Your RFID tag will automatically sync with the updated information within 24 hours.
Before your next trip to Malaysia, double-check your VEP status online to ensure all changes have been processed correctly.
