Can You Register VEP Without a Singapore Driving License?

Do You Need a Singapore Driving License to Apply for VEP?

No, but you must meet other key requirements.
The VEP system managed by JPJ Malaysia is based on vehicle ownership and legal driving authority — not solely on holding a Singapore license.
You can register for a VEP if you:

• Own a Singapore-registered vehicle (even if you're a foreigner or PR)
• Provide valid road tax, insurance, and vehicle log card
• Hold a valid driving license (not necessarily Singapore-issued)

In other words, you don’t need to hold a Singapore-issued driving license, but you must be a legally authorized driver or owner.

Who Typically Applies for VEP Without a Singapore License?

• Foreign workers using a company car
• Singapore PRs with a home country license
• Expats driving a spouse’s or partner’s car
• Businesses with company fleet vehicles
• Tourists using long-term rentals or borrowed cars
