Got a New Personalised Number Plate? Here's What to Do About Your VEP

A Personalised Plate is a Great Way to Make Your Car Your Own

Personalised number plates are a popular way to add a personal touch to your car. But if you drive to Malaysia often, you might be wondering how a new plate affects your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP).

At MyMechanic, we know that the little details matter. We're here to explain how a new number plate affects your VEP and help you with all the necessary steps to make sure you're good to go at the border.

Why Your VEP and Number Plate Must Match

The VEP system uses your number plate to identify your car. Even though your RFID tag is linked to your car's chassis number, the VEP system itself is tied to your number plate. If the plate on your car doesn't match the one in the VEP system, you could have problems at the border.

When you change your number plate, you're changing your car's main identifier. That's why it's so important to update the VEP system with your new plate information.

What to Do After You Change Your Number Plate

Update Your VEP with JPJ

As soon as your new number plate is registered with the LTA in Singapore, you need to update your vehicle details with the Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) on the VEP portal. This will prevent any confusion or delays at the border.

Check Your VEP Status

After you've updated your information, check the VEP portal to make sure the changes have gone through. This will confirm that your new plate is linked to your VEP.

Think About Your RFID Tag

The RFID tag itself doesn't change, but you need to make sure it's synced with your updated VEP record. If you've had work done on your windshield or are having problems with scanning, it might be a good idea to have your RFID tag checked by a professional.
