How to Apply for a Vehicle Electronic Tag?
2 Answers
For privately owned vehicles, the owner needs to provide their identity proof, vehicle license, original registration certificate, and contact information. If applying through an agent, the agent's identity proof is also required. For company-owned vehicles, the organization needs to provide its organization code or business license, vehicle license, registration certificate, original identity proof of the handling person, and the contact information of the responsible person. Bring the relevant documents to the nearby vehicle management office to complete the application.
Getting an electronic toll collection tag for your car is actually quite convenient. I just went through the process last month. Usually, you need to visit a bank branch or a service point at a highway toll station. Remember to bring your ID card, vehicle license, and bank card—the staff will help you fill out the application form. The most annoying part is the placement of the tag. The black area on the windshield shouldn’t have any metal film, or it might interfere with the signal. I’ve also heard that in some cities, you can now apply online via a mobile app and have it delivered to your door for self-installation, saving you a trip. Just avoid washing your car for the first couple of days after attaching it, to let the adhesive dry properly. Once installed, it’s really hassle-free—no more waiting in line at toll booths.
