How to Transfer VEP When Selling Your Car

Selling Your Car? Here's How to Handle the VEP

If you’re selling a vehicle that already has a registered Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for Malaysia, it’s crucial to handle the VEP cancellation process correctly. VEPs are tied to the car, not the owner. If you don’t cancel your VEP registration before selling:

• The new owner could encounter issues at the Malaysia border.
• You may remain liable for future tolls, road charges, or penalties incurred by someone else.
• Your records may clash if you later register a new vehicle.

Can You Transfer the VEP?

No, VEPs cannot be transferred to the buyer. Instead, you must:

• Cancel or deregister the VEP from your account
• Inform the buyer to apply for a fresh VEP in their name

This is the only way to avoid account confusion or legal complications.

Steps to Cancel Your VEP Before Selling

1. Log in to the JPJ VEP Portal with your account details
2. Select the vehicle you are selling
3. Request for cancellation/deregistration within the portal
4. Await email confirmation from JPJ Malaysia
5. Notify the buyer they must apply for a new VEP before driving into Malaysia
