What documents are needed to install ETC and where to apply?

[McElisa]

ETC can be processed at highway toll stations, bank branches, and major internet platforms. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent must also bring their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A credit card application form is required, as the credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, the user can swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect the ETC onboard device for free at designated outlets. No fees are charged during this process. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which means an electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent must also bring their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. 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. For company vehicles applying for ETC, the following documents are required: a company letter of introduction, business license, copy of the business license, company seal, legal representative's ID card, vehicle driver's license, and vehicle license. These documents can be submitted at bank branches or the One-Card Company for processing. Business license or organization code certificate, original company authorization letter for ETC business processing with official seal, original and photocopy of the agent's ID card, and original vehicle registration certificate. How ETC works: Through the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. The system uses computer networking technology to settle accounts with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees. 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 a large inclination angle on the windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing ETC without considering this may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. The user will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic payment for the preceding vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and cause payment failure. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to payment failure.
