What Happens to VEP If Your Car Is Written Off in Malaysia

Accidents are unfortunate, but it’s important to understand the administrative steps involved if the worst happens — especially when driving a Singapore-registered car in Malaysia.

If your car is written off, the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) linked to it is no longer valid, as it's tied specifically to your vehicle’s registration, chassis number, and RFID tag.

At MyMechanic, we assist car owners in handling all VEP-related procedures after such incidents, ensuring you stay compliant and avoid complications.

Steps to Take If Your Car Is Written Off in Malaysia

• Report the Accident: File a report with the Malaysian police and your insurance company.
• Contact JPJ for VEP Cancellation: Inform the Malaysian Road Transport Department to deactivate your VEP record.
• Remove the RFID Tag: If possible, remove the tag from the damaged car to prevent misuse.
• Apply for a New VEP: If you replace the car, you’ll need a new VEP for the new vehicle.
