How do e-vignettes work in the Czech Republic in 2026?

In 2026, the Czech Republic uses the fully digital **eDalnice** system. Your fee is directly linked to the license plate number in the database of the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure (SFDI).

No stickers: You don't need to stick anything on the windshield or print confirmations. ANPR camera systems located on motorways automatically recognize your car and verify the vignette's validity in a fraction of a second.
