Autopass Card

All foreign-registered vehicles must have a valid Autopass card, insurance, road tax, LTA's approval email and proper licence plates displayed at the front and back before entering Singapore. Goods vehicles and public service vehicles registered in ASEAN countries and vehicles registered outside Malaysia and Thailand must also have valid vehicle entry permits.

You are required to present the vehicle's certificate of insurance, road tax and vehicle registration certificate, together with the Autopass card, vehicle entry permit and LTA's approval email upon request by authorised officers in Singapore.

The Autopass card is used to record your vehicle’s entry and exit and pay all fees and tolls for your vehicle, and serves as an electronic Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for foreign-registered cars and motorcycles.

Autopass cards are non-transferable. Each Autopass card is encoded with particulars of the vehicle it is issued to. It is an offence to misuse an Autopass card issued to another vehicle. You must apply for a new Autopass card for the vehicle, even if you have kept the same vehicle number for your next vehicle.
