VEP Renewal After COE Extension: What Every Singaporean Driver Needs to Know

For many of us Singaporean car owners, extending our Certificate of Entitlement (COE) feels like giving our beloved car a new lease on life. It’s a big decision, and it means more years of driving enjoyment! But if you’re someone who loves those regular drives into Malaysia, there’s a really important question that often pops up: What exactly happens to your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) once your COE gets extended?

Think of your VEP as being closely connected to your car’s official registration details. And guess what’s a big part of those details? Yep, your COE validity! Even though your VEP itself is usually good for a solid five years, any significant changes to your car’s core registration info – like extending its COE – means you absolutely *must* update that information within the Malaysian VEP system.

Once you’ve successfully renewed your COE, it’s time for a few quick, but crucial, steps to keep your VEP in tip-top shape and fully compliant. Here’s what you need to do:
