2026 Swiss Vignette: Availability & Regulations

Stay informed about the official 2026 motorway vignette so you can drive on Swiss national highways without penalties.

Vehicle categories: Passenger cars and motorcycles must display either the adhesive vignette or register the electronic e-vignette before using toll routes.

Sticker vs. e-vignette: Adhesive stickers remain valid for single vehicles, while the e-vignette links to a license plate—ideal for plate changes or shared vehicles.

Validity window: Official sales begin December 1, 2025, with validity through January 31, 2027, ensuring a seamless transition into the new year.

Compliance checks: Police and customs officers verify adhesive placement or e-vignette registrations; missing documentation can lead to on-the-spot fines.

Tip: Keep purchase confirmations (digital or paper) accessible during winter inspections and ensure snow or sunshades do not obscure the sticker on the windshield.
