Simplify Your Swiss Travel: Get the EasyVignette Newsletter

A digital vignette, known in Switzerland as the "E-Vignette," is an electronic confirmation that replaces the traditional physical sticker that must be affixed to your vehicle's windshield to legally use Swiss national motorways (Autobahn). Instead of a physical sticker, the right to use the motorways is electronically linked to your vehicle's license plate number in a central database. This means control is carried out electronically by simply scanning your license plate. It's a modern, convenient alternative to the physical sticker.

EasyVignette is a trusted third-party service that specializes in simplifying the purchase process for the official Swiss digital vignette. We provide a convenient online platform and mobile app for travelers to quickly and easily register their vehicle and obtain the mandatory E-Vignette. We act as an intermediary to make accessing the official system straightforward, offering features like automatic renewal reminders and a user-friendly interface that are not always directly available through the official government portal. While we facilitate the process, the vignette itself is the official E-Vignette issued by the Swiss authorities.

One of the significant advantages of using EasyVignette is the speed of activation. With our streamlined process, your digital vignette is typically valid immediately after successful payment and registration of your vehicle's license plate details. There is no waiting period. This means you can purchase your vignette just before entering Switzerland or while already on your journey and be legally covered almost instantly, without the need to stop and find a physical sales point.

According to the official regulations governing the Swiss digital vignette, refunds are generally not possible once the vignette has been officially purchased and activated for a specific license plate. The purchase is final upon registration. It is crucial to double-check all vehicle details, especially the license plate number and country, before completing the purchase. In exceptional circumstances or for specific situations, you can contact our support team to see if any alternative solutions are possible, but standard refunds are not available.

The Swiss digital vignette is strictly tied to the license plate number that was registered at the time of purchase. If you change your license plate for any reason (e.g., buying a new car, moving, getting a personalized plate), the existing digital vignette for the old plate is no longer valid for the vehicle with the new plate. You will need to purchase a new digital vignette for the new license plate number before using Swiss motorways with that vehicle. Unfortunately, transferring a vignette between license plates is not possible under the current system. For specific complex situations, such as transferring ownership of a vehicle with an active digital vignette, please consult the official Swiss customs website or contact EasyVignette support for guidance, although the rule remains tied to the plate.
