Upcoming VEP Digital Signature Requirements: What You Need to Know

New digital verification for Malaysia Vehicle Entry Permits

Important Update for Cross-Border Drivers

In a continued effort to enhance digital governance and border compliance, Malaysia's Ministry of Transport has announced the implementation of digital signature verification as part of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) process. This update is expected to roll out in stages across 2025, requiring foreign vehicle owners to digitally sign and verify key application documents before entering Malaysia.

At MyMechanic, we're here to make sure you understand these updates and remain fully compliant, without the stress.

Why the Digital Signature Requirement?

The move toward digital signatures is meant to:

  • Improve authentication and security for VEP documents
  • Prevent fraudulent or forged permit applications
  • Simplify approval processing using secure digital workflows

This update aligns with Malaysia's national digital transformation agenda, especially at land border checkpoints such as Johor-Singapore Causeway and Second Link.

How This Impacts Singapore Car Owners

If you drive a Singapore-registered vehicle into Malaysia, this new digital signature rule means you'll need to:

  • Sign VEP forms and declarations digitally
  • Submit authentication via government-approved digital ID platforms
  • Ensure your vehicle data is consistent and valid at submission time

Manual signatures and scans may no longer be accepted once the system goes live.
