Getting Your VEP Tag Right the First Time with MyMechanic
You’ve successfully applied for your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), and the RFID tag has finally arrived. The final, seemingly simple step is placing it on your car. However, this is where many Singaporean drivers unknowingly make critical mistakes. Incorrect placement is, by far, the leading cause of scanning failures and frustrating delays at the Malaysian border. Getting it right the first time saves a lot of future headaches, fines, and wasted time. As your trusted VEP service provider, MyMechanic is here to guide you through the precise placement, ensuring your next cross-border journey is smooth and hassle-free.

The gantry scanners at the border are precisely calibrated to read the tag from this specific location. Any deviation from this can lead to problems with detection.
If you realize you’ve made a mistake, here’s the expert advice on what to do:
