If you choose to pay by electronic transfer, you can only use the toll motorway sections after you have received your payment confirmation, which can take up to 5 days to process.
The vignette is non-transferable between motor vehicles, so if the vehicle is sold, the vignette will remain valid for the vehicle for which it was purchased.

The vignette cannot be transferred between vehicles. However, if you need to change the vehicle license plate number on the vignette when you need to replace the physical license plate if it was lost, destroyed, or stolen, you can. Simply fill out the Notification of a change of license plate number form, attaching a copy of the document proving the change of license plate number (for example, a copy of the large technical certificate showing both the original and the new license plate numbers).
For more information, please, visit the Notification of a change of license plate number section.
If you need to use the toll motorway with a vehicle that has been issued a transfer plate, we recommend that you purchase a ten-day vignette.
It is also possible to purchase vignettes in bulk with the option of uploading a set of up to 200 vehicles at a time (can be copied from files, such as XLS, TXT) where the number of sets is not limited. There is only an upper limit of 10,000 vehicles in a single bulk payment. You can set different validity dates, types of vignettes or fuel types via the individual sets. Payment can be made by a payment card or electronic transfer. After payment, you will receive a link in one e‑mail to download a compressed (ZIP) file containing the individual receipts for the specified vehicles, which serves as a basis for your accounting and tax records.
We issue the vignette purchase receipt in accordance with current legislation.
A vignette is a fee, not a good or service, and for this reason no invoice is issued.
The receipt has all the necessary elements to clearly identify the accounting case and is a proper document for accounting and tax purposes. For example, you can attach the receipt to a bank account statement showing an electronic payment for the vignette and use both documents to record the vignette in your accounting or tax records.
No. A vignette is a fee, not a good or service, and therefore is not subject to VAT.
Yes, a valid vignette is also required for a transfer plate (special plates used by garages, car importers, or car dealers instead of a regular license plate number). A transfer plate can be transferred from a vehicle to a vehicle that has not yet been registered and does not have its own license plate number. In such a case, there is no violation of the law and the vignette is still valid. Eligibility to the Eco price is proven during the on-site roadside inspection.
We automatically check the status of transactions made by payment cards on an ongoing basis. If the payment was successful, i.e. the amount was actually charged to your card, just wait a few minutes and you will receive a payment confirmation to the e‑mail address you provided.
If more than 30 minutes have passed since the order was placed and you still do not see your vignette as valid in the Validation, the order was cancelled and the payment will be refunded to your account.
If you hold a ZTP or ZTP/P card issued in the Czech Republic, the vehicle transporting you is automatically exempt provided that you are the operator of the vehicle or that the operator of the vehicle is a person close to you within the meaning of the applicable legislation (see Section 22 of Act No. 89/2012 Coll., Civil Code). It is, therefore, not necessary to file an exemption notice, but the condition is that the ZTP or ZTP/P card holder must be transported by the vehicle when the vehicle is using the toll section of the motorway.
Cash payments are currently accepted at all branches of the Czech Post and EuroOil petrol stations where vignettes are sold. Only card payments are accepted at self-service kiosks.
If your vignette has not yet become valid and you know the vignette authorisation code that is provided on the payment receipt, log in to the Vignette Administration section on the edalnice.cz website. There you can change the vehicle’s license plate number or the country of registration. The change is irreversible and can only be made once.
If the vignette has already become valid and you know the vignette authorisation code that is provided on the payment receipt, log in to the Vignette Administration section on the edalnice.cz website. There you can correct up to 2 characters in the incorrectly entered license plate number or correct the country of registration of the vehicle. The change is irreversible and can only be made once. If you exercise this option, then any request for a refund of the electronic vignette paid under the payment terms and conditions will not be granted.
If you bought an immediate validity vignette at a point of sale, you have 15 minutes from the time of purchase to correct the incorrect details directly at the point of sale where you bought the vignette (you must provide a receipt).
