Can I Use the Same VEP for My Car if I Move to a New Singapore Address?

A Simple Answer for a Common Question

Moving House: Does Your VEP Need to Move Too?

Life is full of changes, and moving to a new home is one of the biggest. Amidst the chaos of packing and planning, a thought might cross your mind: does my car’s Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) need to be updated? It’s a great question, and the answer is simpler than you might think. Your VEP remains valid, but it’s always good practice to update your details. MyMechanic provides VEP services for Singaporean drivers going to Malaysia and can help clarify these details.

Your VEP is Tied to Your Car and You, Not Your Address

Your VEP Stays Valid After a Move

The VEP is primarily linked to two things: your vehicle’s unique registration details and your personal identification (like your name and passport number). It is not tied to your residential address. Therefore, moving to a new address within Singapore will not invalidate your existing VEP. You can continue to use the same VEP and RFID tag for your trips to Malaysia without interruption.

Why Updating Your Address is Still a Good Idea

While not strictly mandatory for maintaining VEP validity, it is highly recommended to keep your personal information on the JPJ VEP portal as current as possible. This ensures that any important correspondence or notifications regarding your VEP (such as renewal reminders) will be sent to your correct address and email, preventing any missed communications.

How to Quickly Update Your Address on the VEP Portal

Updating your address is a simple online process that takes just a few minutes:

  1. Log in to the JPJ VEP Portal: Access your VEP account using your registered email and password.
  2. Navigate to Your Profile: Find the section for your personal details or profile information.
  3. Edit and Save Your Address: Change your address to your new one, double-check for accuracy, and save the changes.
