What do we do, and what do we not do?

We register your number plate for you in the electronic vignette system. We are not a government authority and not a partner of the FOCBS.

Offering the registration as a private service is permitted (FOCBS Regulation R 15-01, section 5.1). We clearly identify ourselves as an independent provider.

Motorcycles need a vignette. We are not currently accepting orders for motorcycles.

Our service covers:

  • Registration of your number plate in the electronic vignette system
  • A start date of your choice: today, tomorrow or later
  • Order form in 13 languages
  • Support by email and chat
  • Order confirmation and registration confirmation by email

How do we produce our content?

Factual statements are based on primary sources: the National Highways Charge Act (NSAG), the National Highways Charge Ordinance (NSAV), information from the FOCBS and ch.ch. Practical tips, for example on rental cars, are marked as such.

At the bottom of every page, we list the sources and the date of the last review (“Last checked”). Anything that cannot be backed up by a primary source is left out.

We review all content every year before 1 December, when the following year's vignette goes on sale, and update it if anything changes.
