Insider Tips to Speed Up Your VEP Tag Collection in Johor Bahru

From the Digital Queue to the Physical Queue

After weeks of waiting for your VEP application to be approved, the last thing you want is to spend a whole day waiting in a physical queue in Johor Bahru just to collect your RFID tag. The collection process can be a major bottleneck, but with the right strategy, you can significantly speed things up.

As VEP service professionals, we at MyMechanic have mastered the art of efficient collection. Here are our top tips to help you get your tag and get on your way, faster.

Tip 1: Book Your Appointment the Second You're Approved

This is the most critical step. Appointment slots are a scarce resource. The moment you receive that VEP approval email, drop everything and log in to the JPJ VEP portal to book your collection slot. Waiting even a few hours can mean the difference between getting a slot this week versus next month.

Tip 2: Be Smart About Timing and Location

• Avoid Weekends: If your schedule allows, book your appointment on a weekday. The collection centers are always most crowded on Saturdays and Sundays.
• Think Outside the Box: Don't just default to the collection center closest to the Causeway. Check the appointment availability at centers slightly further out. A 15-minute extra drive in JB could save you an hour of waiting time.

Tip 3: Prepare Your Documents Like a Pro

Don't be the person holding up the line fumbling for documents. Have everything prepared in a folder, ready to present.

• VEP Approval Confirmation Email (Printed)
• Vehicle Owner's Original Passport
• Copy of LTA Log Card
• Copy of Car Insurance Certificate

Having physical copies is always faster and more reliable than relying on your phone.
