Understanding the Swiss Vignette
A vignette is mandatory for most vehicles using Swiss motorways and designated semi-motorways. This system ensures that all users contribute to the upkeep of Switzerland's world-class road infrastructure. Traditionally a physical sticker, EasyVignette proudly offers a fully digital, modern solution linked directly to your vehicle's license plate, making compliance effortless.
The Traditional Sticker: A Brief History
For decades, the Swiss vignette system relied on a physical sticker. This involved purchasing the sticker annually from post offices, gas stations, or border crossings, and then meticulously affixing it to the vehicle's windscreen according to specific governmental rules. While effective, this method could be inconvenient, particularly for tourists arriving at busy times. Removing old stickers often left residue, and misplacement could lead to fines. The annual replacement cycle also meant a recurring errand for drivers.
The EasyVignette Digital Solution: Modern Convenience
Embrace the future of travel with EasyVignette's digital solution. Your vignette is electronically registered to your vehicle's license plate, eliminating the need for any physical sticker. Purchase online in just a few minutes from anywhere in the world, at any time, and receive instant email confirmation. This means you can drive onto Swiss motorways with complete peace of mind, knowing your vignette is active and valid. It’s a seamless, secure, and smart way to manage your Swiss travel obligations.
EasyVignette simplifies Swiss travel by replacing the physical toll sticker with an efficient, secure, and instantly accessible digital alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find quick answers to common questions about the Swiss digital vignette and the EasyVignette service. We aim to make your experience as clear and straightforward as possible.
How is the digital vignette linked to my vehicle?
The digital vignette is linked directly and exclusively to your vehicle's license plate number, which you provide during the online purchase process on EasyVignette. There is no physical sticker to affix to your windscreen; the registration is entirely electronic, making it a cleaner and more modern solution.
How do authorities check if I have a valid digital vignette?
Swiss authorities utilize automated systems, often involving license plate recognition (LPR) cameras at various points, including border crossings and mobile patrols. These systems scan license plates and cross-reference them with the central database of registered digital vignettes to instantly verify if a valid vignette is associated with the vehicle.
When does my digital vignette become valid after purchase on EasyVignette?
Your digital vignette becomes valid immediately after you successfully complete the purchase process on the EasyVignette platform and receive the confirmation email from us. This email serves as your proof of purchase and activation, allowing you to use Swiss motorways right away.
What if I enter my license plate incorrectly during purchase?
It is absolutely crucial to enter your license plate details correctly and accurately during the purchase. An incorrect license plate number will mean your vignette is not valid for your vehicle, which could lead to fines during checks. Please double-check all information before finalizing your purchase. If you realize an error has been made after purchase, please contact our customer support team at help@<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?> as soon as possible for assistance, though changes may not always be possible once processed.
Can I transfer my digital vignette to another vehicle or if my license plate changes?
Generally, a Swiss digital vignette is tied to a specific license plate number, not the vehicle itself. If you change vehicles but are able to keep the same license plate number (which depends on your country's registration laws), the vignette usually remains valid. However, if your license plate number changes (e.g., you sell the car and get a new one with different plates, or your country issues new plates), a new vignette will typically be required for the new license plate. For specific scenarios, it's always best to consult the official regulations from the Swiss Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (FOCBS) or contact our support team.
Is the EasyVignette service official and secure?
Yes, EasyVignette acts as an authorized intermediary providing officially recognized Swiss digital vignettes. Our platform employs robust security measures, including encrypted connections and secure payment processing, to protect your personal information and ensure a safe transaction. Your vignette is officially registered with the Swiss authorities.
What happens if I don't receive my email confirmation from EasyVignette?
First, please check your email's spam or junk folder, as confirmation emails can sometimes be filtered there. If you still haven't received it within an hour of your purchase, please contact our customer support team immediately at help@<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?>. Provide your name, the email address used for purchase, and approximate time of transaction so we can assist you promptly.
Driving in Switzerland: Key Information
Prepare for a safe and enjoyable driving experience in Switzerland with these essential tips and resources. Understanding local regulations will make your journey smoother.
Vignette Requirement
A valid vignette is compulsory for all motor vehicles and trailers up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight using Swiss motorways and semi-motorways. This includes cars, motorcycles, and campervans. Heavier vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes) are subject to a different toll system (Heavy Vehicle Charge - LSVA).
Speed Limits
General speed limits are strictly enforced: 120 km/h on motorways, 100 km/h on expressways (dual carriageways), 80 km/h outside built-up areas, and 50 km/h (or often lower, e.g., 30 km/h in residential zones) within built-up areas. Always pay close attention to posted speed limit signs as they can vary.
Headlights
Dipped headlights (or daytime running lights) are mandatory for all vehicles at all times, day and night, and in all weather conditions. This rule is in place to enhance visibility and safety on the roads.
Winter Equipment
During colder months (typically October to April, but can vary by altitude and region), winter tires are highly recommended and may be mandatory in certain conditions. Snow chains may be required on specific mountain passes; watch for road signs indicating this. It's wise to check local road conditions and weather forecasts before traveling, especially in alpine areas.
