VEP Transfer to New Car Owner

What is VEP Transfer to New Car Owner?

VEP transfer to new car owner is the official process of reassigning an existing Malaysia Vehicle Entry Permit when vehicle ownership changes. This mandatory procedure ensures proper documentation of vehicle access permissions across borders and maintains accurate records with Malaysian authorities. The transfer must be completed within 14 days of ownership change to avoid penalties. Both parties (seller and buyer) share responsibility for initiating this process through Malaysia's JPJ (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan) system.
