Can an ETC card be transferred to another vehicle?

[CoreyFitz]

ETC cannot be transferred to another vehicle: ETC is vehicle-specific. If both the vehicle and license plate are changed, the owner must first go to the bank to unbind the original ETC-linked bank card. If the new vehicle needs to use ETC, a new ETC pass card must be applied for. When passing through the highway, if the license plate number does not match the information in the card or the tag, the vehicle will not be allowed to pass; furthermore, it will be added to the issuing bank's ETC blacklist. The owner must then bring their original ID card and vehicle registration certificate to the issuing bank's ETC service outlet to remove the blacklist status. If the vehicle is changed but the license plate remains the same, the owner can simply take the ETC device to the service outlet to update the license plate number, engine number, and other information, and then reinstall it. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for an ETC, the owner must provide their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate (original and photocopies). If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway toll fees is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under their name. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view—it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Avoid affecting charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or in positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The adhesive button in the middle is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once installed, the windshield presses the lever in. If the device is removed, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. The owner will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Things to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid issues caused by a malfunctioning ETC device in the vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h—exceeding this speed may result in failed toll deduction due to unreadable device information. If a debit card is linked to the ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.
