Can the ETC still be used after the vehicle is transferred? Can it be changed?
1 Answers
After the vehicle is transferred, the ETC cannot be used or changed. Since both the vehicle and license plate have been changed, and the ETC IC card stores the vehicle's inherent information (such as vehicle type, owner, license plate number, etc.), road operation information, and toll status information, a new ETC must be applied for once the vehicle is transferred and the license plate is changed. The owner should first go to the bank to unbind the original ETC-linked bank card and then apply for a new ETC for the new vehicle. Below are the methods for applying for ETC: In-person application at a service outlet: The owner needs to bring the original and photocopies of their ID card and vehicle registration certificate (the photocopy should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp), as well as an income proof stamped by their employer. If an agent is handling the process, the agent's ID card is also required. Then, fill out the relevant application form at the counter and wait for the bank's approval. Online application: Many banks have launched online application services. Users only need to fill in personal and vehicle information as prompted and upload clear photos of their ID card and vehicle registration certificate to apply for ETC.
