Queue Management Tips for VEP RFID Tag Collection (2025 Peak Periods)

Collecting your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) RFID tag should be a quick and simple task, but during peak periods in 2025, it can easily turn into hours of waiting if you’re not prepared. With more drivers from Singapore and Malaysia applying for and collecting their tags, certain times of the year — like school holidays, festive seasons, and long weekends — see a big jump in crowds.

At MyMechanic, we’ve helped many motorists navigate the process without unnecessary delays. If you want to save time and avoid stress, here are some tried-and-tested tips that work.

  1. Go When It’s Less Busy: If you can, avoid weekends and public holidays. Weekday mornings are usually much quieter, and arriving early often means you can get everything done before the crowds build up.
  2. Bring Everything You Need: Many people get stuck in the queue because they’ve forgotten a document. Before you leave, make sure you have:
    - Your vehicle log card or registration details
    - Your passport or MyKad (for Malaysians)
    - Proof that your VEP application is approved
    Having these ready saves you from making another trip.
  3. Check Before You Travel: Some collection points post queue updates on social media or in community groups. Spending two minutes to check could help you choose a time when the lines are shorter.
  4. Be Prepared to Wait: Even with careful planning, there might still be a wait during busy times. Bringing a drink, a light snack, and something to read or do can make the time pass more comfortably.
  5. Let MyMechanic Handle It for You: If waiting in line isn’t your thing, MyMechanic can take care of the entire process — from applying for your VEP to collecting your RFID tag. We make sure all the paperwork is correct and the process runs smoothly, so you can focus on your travel plans instead of queueing.
