How do I know in which countries my badge works? (It/Sp/Port)

In your subscriber area through the “MY BADGES” button on the home page or in the “TRACK MY BADGES” section of the “MY BADGES” page. In this section, you can also request a change of badge if you want to use it in other countries .

Through the type of badge you have and the information on the label:

Why am I being asked for my number plate?

In certain European countries, such as Italy and Portugal, if your badge cannot be detected in the toll lane, your number plate will be read and your journey will be associated with your badge.

How many number plates can I register to my badge?

You can only register one number plate per badge. If you plan to use your badge in another vehicle, you can change the number plate associated with your badge. More details here .

What happens if I use my badge in a vehicle other than the one I have registered?

Depending on the badge detection mode, or if a problem arises, your journey may not be billed via the badge. Instead, it will be billed according to the regulations in effect at the time.

How can I change the number plate associated with my badge?

PLEASE NOTE! Make sure you make this change in advance, as it will take effect within 24 hours.
