At MyMechanic, we’ve assisted many car owners with special plate numbers get their VEP approved without the usual back-and-forth and confusion.

Why Vanity Plates Require Extra Attention

Malaysia’s VEP system automatically pulls vehicle records based on standard formatting. But if you have a vanity plate — like SG55, DRIVE8, or VIP1234 — it may not sync up properly in the system.

  • Application errors
  • Longer approval times
  • Rejected VEPs
  • Issues at the border checkpoint

But don't worry — we know exactly how to handle this.
