- Online Availability: The E-vignette for Switzerland can be quickly and easily purchased online: enter license plate, select vehicle type, pay online, and you’re ready to go.
- License Plate Linkage: Unlike the sticker vignette, the E-vignette is linked to the license plate (called "control plate" in Switzerland). If the vehicle is replaced (with the same control plate) or the windshield is damaged, no new E-vignette is needed.
- Simple Registration without Personal Data: For the E-vignette, only the vehicle category, country of registration, and license plate are required – no holder information needs to be provided, making the process faster and more privacy-friendly.
