How to Reactivate a Dormant VEP Tag in Malaysia

Is your VEP RFID tag inactive or expired? Get professional help to reactivate your tag quickly

If you're a Singaporean driver planning to enter Malaysia but your VEP RFID tag is inactive, you're not alone

This is a common issue faced by many car owners — especially if you haven't crossed the border in a while. At MyMechanic, we've helped hundreds of car owners identify and fix dormant tag issues so they can cross the Causeway without stress, delays, or fines.

What Is a Dormant VEP Tag?

A dormant VEP tag is one that has been marked inactive in Malaysia's JPJ system due to:

  • Long periods of inactivity (e.g., no cross-border travel for months or years)
  • Expired or invalid insurance linked to the VEP profile
  • Unpaid tolls, summons, or previous violations
  • System mismatches or outdated vehicle/owner information
  • Deliberate or accidental VEP suspension

If your tag is dormant, you may not be able to enter Malaysia, or you could face penalties, manual checks, or denied access at the checkpoint.

How to Reactivate Your Dormant VEP Tag (Step-by-Step)

1. Verify Tag Status

Our team checks your VEP status with JPJ using your car plate and VEP ID.

2. Identify the Cause

We uncover why your tag was deactivated and what's needed to fix it.

3. Fix the Issue

We help with insurance renewal, fine payments, and document updates.

4. Submit Reactivation

We handle all JPJ communications and paperwork submission.

5. Confirmation & Testing

You'll receive reactivation confirmation and guidance for testing.

Why Reactivating Early Matters

Don't wait until you're at the checkpoint. Dormant tags are not auto-reactivated even after renewing insurance or resuming travel. Without action, your trip could be delayed — or denied entirely.

Reactivate in advance with MyMechanic and enjoy seamless border clearance.
