What Is a ‘VEP Mismatch’ Error?

A VEP mismatch error usually means that your RFID tag information does not match the vehicle details in your VEP registration. This stops the RFID from being validated at Malaysian checkpoints like Woodlands, Tuas, and Johor.

Common Reasons for VEP Mismatch

  • RFID tag linked to the wrong plate number
  • VEP info has missing or outdated owner/car details
  • JPJ system failed to sync the VEP and RFID data correctly
  • Car was sold or transferred, but VEP wasn’t updated
  • RFID tag installed before VEP approval was finalized
  • Minor spelling errors or road tax mismatches

Even small mistakes can trigger the error.

How to Fix a VEP Mismatch (Step-by-Step)

  • Option 1: Manual Resubmission via JPJ
    • Login to your VEP portal
    • Verify plate number, car make/model, chassis number, and owner name match your road tax
    • If incorrect, email JPJ:
      • State the correction needed
      • Attach vehicle grant, proof of tax & insurance
    • Wait for processing (2–3 weeks on average)
