E-vignette vs sticker: what changed in the last 5 years

Physical stickers are disappearing across Europe. Digital e-vignettes have replaced paper windscreen stickers in most countries, offering instant activation and easier enforcement.

The shift started with larger operators like ASFINAG in Austria and has now spread to Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, and Bulgaria. Switzerland still issues a physical vignette sticker, but a digital version is under discussion.

Digital vignettes are linked to your license plate and checked via ANPR cameras. There is no need to wait for delivery or worry about peeling stickers. Purchase online, get email confirmation, and drive legally within minutes.
