Where to Apply for ETC?
1 Answers
ETC can be applied for at bank branches, expressway service areas, and other authorized institutions. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's 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 should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a Postal Savings credit card application form is required, as the credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to the designated Postal Savings outlet to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle registered under their name. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, which refers to the electronic toll collection system.

A bank card for deducting expressway toll fees is also required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle registered under their name. Here are some important notes 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 steeply angled windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to 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 solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its ETC device malfunction, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the device information and toll deduction failure. If using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.
