New digital verification for Malaysia Vehicle Entry Permits
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.

This update aligns with Malaysia's national digital transformation agenda, especially at land border checkpoints such as Johor-Singapore Causeway and Second Link.
If you drive a Singapore-registered vehicle into Malaysia, this new digital signature rule means you'll need to:
Manual signatures and scans may no longer be accepted once the system goes live.
To avoid entry issues or permit rejections:
Check what platforms Malaysia will accept and set up your account in advance.
Don't wait until the last minute to comply with the new requirements.
We'll prepare and submit your digital documents correctly, ensuring fast approval.
Official rollout dates have yet to be published, but we expect pilot testing as early as Q4 2025, especially for new applicants and vehicles due for VEP renewal.
As Malaysia modernizes its vehicle entry systems, it's crucial to stay updated with compliance trends like this. A missed digital signature or unverified form could delay or block your entry at the border.
