Privacy & Security for VEP Holders – 2025 Policy Changes

Why VEP Data Privacy Matters More Than Ever

With digitalisation of Malaysia's Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system, more personal data is being collected, stored, and monitored for security and compliance purposes. Every foreign vehicle entering Malaysia is tracked through RFID technology and linked to personal user accounts, making data privacy and security critical concerns for every driver.

What Data Is Collected During VEP Registration?

When you apply for your VEP, the system collects several key details. These are required to comply with vehicle security standards and manage cross-border entries effectively:

• Full name of vehicle owner/driver
• IC, passport, or FIN number
• Residential address and contact information
• Vehicle registration number and model
• Road tax and insurance documents
• Entry dates, trip history, and RFID tag usage
