VEP Exemptions 2026: Do Motorcycles and Classic Cars Need Tags? (Last Updated: March 2026)

There is widespread confusion about which vehicle types require VEP registration in 2026. While some exemptions exist, they are narrower than many drivers believe.

Motorcycles and VEP in 2026

While Singapore-registered motorcycles are exempt from the RM20 Road Charge (VEF), they still require VEP registration in 2026.

  • Motorcycles must register on the JPJ VEP portal and obtain an RFID tag.
  • The RFID tag for motorcycles is smaller and designed to be mounted on the front fork or license plate area.
  • The registration process is the same as for cars, but the document requirements may vary slightly.

Classic Cars: The Vintage Vehicle Category

Classic cars registered with Red or Green plates have a specific Vintage Vehicle category in the JPJ VEP portal. Different document requirements apply:

  • Vehicles must be registered under the Vintage Vehicle category during the VEP application.
  • Additional documentation proving the vehicle's vintage status may be required.
  • The RFID tag requirement and road charge rules are the same as standard vehicles.
  • Contact MyMechanic if you have a vintage vehicle and are unsure of the specific requirements.
