Upcoming VEP Digital Signature Requirements: What You Need to Know

Important Update for Cross-Border Drivers

In a continued effort to enhance digital governance and border compliance, Malaysia's Ministry of Transport has announced the implementation of digital signature verification as part of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) process. This update is expected to roll out in stages across 2025, requiring foreign vehicle owners to digitally sign and verify key application documents before entering Malaysia.

Why the Digital Signature Requirement?

The move toward digital signatures is meant to:

• Improve authentication and security for VEP documents
• Prevent fraudulent or forged permit applications
• Simplify approval processing using secure digital workflows
