Deregister Your VEP in Singapore (2026 Guide)

    If you have sold, scrapped, exported, or transferred your car, you need to deregister your VEP so the Malaysia Vehicle Entry Permit no longer sits on a vehicle you do not own. Below is how to deregister your VEP yourself, step by step, and how we do the whole VEP deregistration for you - from S$168, usually within 7 working days.

    Last updated 2026. We handle JPJ and the Touch 'n Go TCENS portal for you.

    When you need to deregister your VEP

    Deregister your VEP whenever the car it is tied to changes hands or leaves the road. The most common reasons:

    You sold your car

    The VEP must come off your record so the new owner can register their own VEP cleanly and you are no longer tied to a car you do not own.

    Scrapped or COE-expired

    When the vehicle is deregistered with LTA or scrapped, deregister the VEP too so the dead record does not block anything later.

    Exported the vehicle

    Exporting the car out of Singapore means the VEP tied to its Singapore plate should be terminated.

    Ownership transfer

    A change of owner (family transfer, sale, company to personal) needs the old VEP deregistered before the new owner applies.

    How to deregister your VEP step by step

    You can deregister your VEP yourself for free through the official VEP system, or skip the portal and have us do it. The DIY route, in order:

    1. 1

      Gather your vehicle and VEP details

      Have your Singapore vehicle log card (VRC), your ID or passport, and your VEP / RFID tag details ready, plus proof of sale or scrap if the car has changed hands.

    2. 2

      Log in to the VEP system

      Access the official Malaysia VEP portal at vep.jpj.gov.my (the MyVEP / JPJ system) and the linked Touch 'n Go TCENS account that holds your RFID tag.

    3. 3

      Select the vehicle to deregister

      Find the Singapore-registered vehicle tied to your VEP and choose the deregistration / termination option for it.

    4. 4

      Submit the deregistration request

      Confirm the reason (sold, scrapped, exported, or transferred) and submit. The RFID tag tied to the vehicle is released from the VEP record.

    5. 5

      Wait for confirmation

      JPJ processes the request and the vehicle comes off the VEP system. Keep the confirmation in case the buyer or LTA needs proof.

    The portal can be slow or error out, and a missed step leaves the old VEP active. If you would rather not chase JPJ, send us your details and we deregister your VEP for you - see applying yourself versus using us.

    Documents needed to deregister your VEP

    • Singapore vehicle log card (Vehicle Registration Certificate)
    • Owner's NRIC or passport
    • Your VEP and RFID tag details (the account the tag is linked to)
    • Proof of sale, scrap, or export - where it applies

    Send these over WhatsApp and we will confirm whether anything else is needed for your specific situation.

    What happens if you don't deregister your VEP?

    If you sell or scrap a car and leave the VEP on it, the permit and RFID tag stay tied to a vehicle you no longer own. That causes real problems: the new owner often cannot register their own VEP cleanly because the old one is still attached, and your details remain linked to a car you are not responsible for.

    Deregistering closes the record properly. If you bought a used car and the previous owner's VEP is still on it, that old VEP needs to be deregistered before yours will go through - message us and we will help clear it.

    Done-for-you VEP deregistration: S$168

    One flat fee of S$168 covers the whole thing: we file the deregistration with JPJ and the Touch 'n Go TCENS portal, chase it through, and confirm when your vehicle is off the VEP system - usually within 7 working days. No portal logins, no chasing, no guesswork.

    VEP deregistration questions

    Once the sale is done, the VEP tied to that car should be deregistered so the buyer can register their own VEP and you are no longer linked to a vehicle you do not own. You can submit the request yourself in the VEP / TCENS portal, or send us your vehicle and VEP details on WhatsApp and we deregister it for you, usually within 7 working days.

    Yes. When a vehicle is scrapped or its COE expires and it is deregistered with LTA, the Malaysia VEP record tied to it should also be deregistered so there is no orphaned permit and RFID tag left active on the system.

    When we handle it, deregistration is usually completed within 7 working days, subject to the Malaysian system being available. We file the request with JPJ and the TCENS portal and chase it through to confirmation.

    Our done-for-you VEP deregistration is S$168. That covers filing with JPJ and TCENS, chasing the request, and confirming completion. If you later need a new tag for a different car, that is a fresh VEP application at the normal fee.

    Your Singapore vehicle log card (VRC), the owner's ID or passport, your VEP and RFID tag details, and proof of sale, scrap, or export where it applies. Send us photos on WhatsApp and we will tell you if anything else is needed.

    Yes. Deregistration is done through the official VEP system at vep.jpj.gov.my and the linked Touch 'n Go TCENS account, and it is free to do yourself. Many Singapore drivers ask us to handle it because the portal can be slow or error out and they would rather not chase JPJ.

    The RFID tag is released from the VEP record during deregistration. A tag is tied to one vehicle's VEP, so it cannot simply be moved to another car; a new vehicle needs its own VEP application and tag.

    The VEP stays attached to a car you no longer own. The new owner may not be able to register their own VEP cleanly, and your details remain tied to a vehicle you are no longer responsible for. Deregistering closes that off.

    An ownership transfer is treated like a change of owner: the old VEP should be deregistered so the new registered owner can apply for their own VEP under their name.

    Yes. We handle deregistration for private, company, commercial, and rental vehicles. For a fleet, send us the list and we process them together.

    The previous owner's VEP needs to be deregistered before you can register yours cleanly. If you cannot reach them, message us with the vehicle details and we will advise the fastest way to clear the old record so your VEP application goes through.
