How to Suspend Your VEP Temporarily Without Cancelling It

Taking a break from driving to Malaysia? Learn how to pause your VEP and reactivate it later without starting from scratch.

Why Suspend Instead of Cancel?

  • Preserve Your Registration Data: Your vehicle, owner, and RFID details stay stored in JPJ’s system.
  • Avoid Re-application Delays: Full VEP registration can take weeks; suspension lets you skip that process.
  • No Need to Reinstall RFID: Cancelling may require replacing your RFID tag; suspension usually doesn’t.
  • Ideal for Long Absences: Perfect for seasonal residents, long overseas work assignments, or vehicles stored for months.

When Suspension is a Good Option

  • You’re relocating abroad temporarily.
  • Your car will be stored in Singapore or another country.
  • You’re avoiding travel during peak border congestion or emergencies.
  • You want to pause road charge deductions while not using the car in Malaysia.

How to Temporarily Suspend Your VEP

  • Check Suspension Eligibility: Not all vehicles or situations qualify; MyMechanic can confirm with JPJ.
  • Prepare Your Documents: Have your VEP number, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance ready.
  • Submit Suspension Request: This is usually done via the official VEP portal or with direct assistance.
  • Get Confirmation: Ensure you receive a suspension approval notice for your records.
  • Reactivation: When ready to travel again, submit a reactivation request.

How MyMechanic Makes It Simple

We can:

  • Verify if your situation qualifies for suspension.
  • Handle all the paperwork and portal submissions.
  • Track your request and ensure proper confirmation.
  • Assist with quick reactivation when needed.
