Correcting the licence plate and refunds
Last checked: 4 November 2026
The e-vignette is valid only for the plate it is registered for. Please check the plate carefully before you pay.
Correcting a typo: the 24-hour rule
- A foreign plate can be corrected only once and only within 24 hours of purchase.
- After 24 hours a correction is no longer possible.
- A Swiss plate can be corrected once.
- Wrong spaces or hyphens do not matter and need no correction.
If you ordered through our service and notice a mistake, please contact us at once via the support ticket.
A new licence plate
A plate change is only possible if the vehicle and the keeper stay the same, for example after a move or when a plate is lost – with the relevant vehicle documents. If both the vehicle and the plate change, the e-vignette cannot be transferred.
Is there a refund?
Swiss law gives no right of withdrawal for online purchases. The vignette fee is refunded only in exceptional cases:
- a proven double purchase for the same plate,
- a vignette bought by mistake for a vehicle that does not need one (e.g. a motorhome over 3.5 t).
There is no pro-rata refund for a vehicle taken off the road. For orders through our service, our General Terms and Conditions also apply.
You can order the e-vignette online with us.
