Absolutely. SmartVignette facilitates the purchase and registration of the official Swiss digital motorway vignette. This e-vignette is electronically linked to your vehicle's license plate and is fully recognized by Swiss authorities. There's no physical sticker; enforcement is carried out through automated license plate recognition systems.
Activation is typically instant. Once your vehicle details are correctly entered and your payment is successfully processed, your digital vignette is activated immediately. You will receive an email confirmation, and your license plate will be registered in the official Swiss system, allowing you to drive on motorways without delay.
The Swiss digital vignette is strictly tied to a specific license plate number. If you change your vehicle or if your license plate number changes (for instance, due to moving to a different canton or country), you will generally need to purchase a new vignette for the new license plate. It is not transferable. For specific situations or queries, please contact our customer support team for guidance.
If you opt-in for our auto-renewal service, we will automatically renew your vignette before its expiration date using your securely saved payment method. You'll receive a clear notification email well in advance of the renewal, giving you ample time to make any changes or cancel if you wish. You can manage your auto-renewal preferences at any time through your SmartVignette account.
No, with the digital vignette (e-vignette), there is no physical sticker required to be displayed on your vehicle's windshield. Your license plate is registered in the central Swiss database, and compliance checks are performed electronically by scanning license plates. This makes for a cleaner look and a more convenient system.
We accept a variety of secure payment methods for your convenience, including major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and often popular digital payment solutions like PayPal or TWINT (availability may vary). All transactions are processed through a secure, encrypted payment gateway to protect your financial information.
No, the Swiss digital vignette is linked to a single, specific license plate number and is non-transferable between vehicles. Each vehicle that requires access to Swiss motorways must have its own valid vignette registered to its license plate.
