Switzerland vignette online

A Swiss vignette is a mandatory road document that should be purchased by all drivers using the Swiss motorways and certain sections of roads subject to tolls. The Swiss vignette requirement covers all motor vehicles and trailers whose GVW does not exceed 3.5t.

Since August 2023, when Switzerland introduced a digital vignette system, drivers can purchase a vignette for Switzerland either in a digital form or in the form of a traditional sticker.

The official Swiss vignette can be purchased only as an annual vignette with a 14-month validity, which starts on December 1st of the year before the purchase and ends on January 31st of the following year.

Do note that using the Swiss toll roads without having a valid vignette, either a traditional toll sticker or its digital alternative, may result in financial penalties.

Traditional toll stickers will be phased out in Switzerland once 90% of digital users choose digital vignettes.

Switzerland vignette is a mandatory toll that must be paid by all vehicles up to and including 3.5t on all Swiss motorways and expressways. The vignette requirements apply to cars, motorbikes, trailers, caravans, delivery vans and campers.

Drivers planning to use the Swiss network of toll roads can either obtain a sticker vignette or an e-vignette available online from August 1st, 2023.

Thanks to the introduction of the e-vignette system in Switzerland, it is no longer necessary to buy a physical sticker and fix it to the vehicle’s windscreen. Instead, a driver can easily purchase a digital vignette and receive its confirmation via email.

Heavy vehicles whose maximum gross weight exceeds 3.5t do not need to obtain a Swiss vignette since they are subject to a special heavy vehicle charge.

Important note:The Swiss vignettes have no cooling-off period, which means that they can be used immediately after purchasing.

No matter the type of your vehicle or the duration of your trip, there is only one type of a vignette available in Switzerland:

Important: If you drive a vehicle with a trailer, you will need to obtain two separate vignettes.
