Starting September 12, motorists will have the option to collect their Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) tag in Woodlands.
Contact Details For VEP
| MY VEP Pte Ltd (Woodlands – Singapore) | VEP Collection Centre (Johor – Malaysia) |
| 186 Woodlands Industrial Park E5, #03-01, Singapore 757515 +60 3-7941 2888 | 17, EDL, Kampung Bendahara, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia +60 3-7941 2888 |
Previously, drivers could either collect their tag from Johor Bahru or opt to have it delivered by post. Now, TCSens is offering a pickup option at their Woodlands office.
The collection point is located at 186 Woodlands Industrial Park E5, on the third floor, and the whole service will cost you S$39.
You did not read that wrong. Plus, the $39 is on top of the RM10 (S$2.98) charge for the tag itself.
TCSens, the vendor appointed by Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ) to handle VEP queries from Singapore drivers, shared the details on Tuesday (Sep 3). They confirmed that the collection at the Woodlands location would start from September 12 2024.
In terms of the process, it seems pretty straightforward. Most drivers who go to collect their tag at the Woodlands centre will receive the windscreen RFID version. But if your windscreen isn’t suitable for whatever reason, they’ll issue the headlamp version of the RFID tag instead.
This is similar to the procedure at the VEP collection centre in Johor Bahru’s Danga Bay, for those of you familiar with the process over there.
If you’re thinking of opting for the delivery route instead, it’s worth noting that most drivers who receive their tag by post in Singapore typically get the version meant for installation on the headlamp.
If you don’t have your VEP tag by October 1 and you try to enter Malaysia, be prepared to face fines of up to RM2,000 (about US$425) or a potential jail term of up to six months.
As of now, the clock is ticking for all of us who drive across the border, so it’s probably a good idea to get that appointment sorted.
