What to Do If You Didn’t Receive Your VEP RFID Tag

Introduction

You’ve successfully applied for your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), and your status is approved. But weeks have passed, and the VEP RFID tag is nowhere to be found. This can be a frustrating experience, especially with a trip to Malaysia planned. At MyMechanic, we understand the anxiety this can cause. This guide outlines the steps to take if you haven’t received your VEP RFID tag and how we can help resolve the issue for you.

Common Reasons for VEP RFID Tag Delays

Several factors can contribute to delays in receiving your VEP RFID tag:

• High Demand: A surge in applications can lead to processing and delivery backlogs.
• Postal Service Issues: Delays within the postal system can affect delivery times.
• Incorrect Address: A simple mistake in your application address can result in a failed delivery.
• Lost in Transit: In rare cases, the tag may get lost during the delivery process.

Steps to Take if Your VEP RFID Tag is Missing

Step 1: Double-Check Your VEP Application Details

Log in to the official VEP portal and verify that your mailing address and contact information are correct. Typos are a common cause of delivery failures.

Step 2: Check for a Dispatch Notification

Review your email (including the spam folder) for any dispatch notifications from the VEP authorities. This email may contain a tracking number or an estimated delivery date.

Step 3: Contact the VEP Helpdesk

If your details are correct and you’ve received no notification, the next step is to contact the official VEP helpdesk. Be prepared with your application reference number and vehicle details. However, reaching them can sometimes be challenging due to high call volumes.

Step 4: Consider In-Person Collection

If you need the tag urgently, you can inquire about collecting it in person from a designated VEP collection center in Johor Bahru. This may require an appointment.
