How to change ETC when license plate is changed?
2 Answers
Take the license plate change procedures, bring your ID card and vehicle license to the original bank handling point or any ETC handling point opened by the expressway to handle the change business. Here is some introduction about ETC: Introduction: ETC (Electronic-Toll-Collection) is currently the most advanced road and bridge toll collection method in the world. Working principle: Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the computer networking technology is used to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, so as to achieve the purpose of vehicles passing through the road and bridge toll station without stopping to pay the road and bridge toll.
I also changed my license plate number recently. When the license plate changes, the ETC must be updated accordingly; otherwise, it could cause trouble on the highway. I handled it through the official ETC WeChat public account. Just open WeChat, search for the ETC service mini-program, log in to your account, select the license plate change option, upload clear photos of both the old and new license plates, fill in the vehicle owner’s information, and submit for review. The whole process takes just a few minutes, and it becomes effective within two or three days. The first time passing through a toll station after the change was nerve-wracking, but thankfully, the automatic recognition worked smoothly without needing to stop. It’s best to handle this promptly to avoid fines or delays due to failed deductions. Delaying it will only waste more time. Also, remember to take photos and back up the documents in case manual verification is required later. Overall, it’s quite convenient—the app design has streamlined the process, eliminating the need for in-person visits.
