What are e-vignettes and who do they concern in 2026?
A vignette is a flat-rate fee for using motorways and expressways. In 2026, **digital e-vignettes**, assigned to a vehicle's registration number in the national system, are the standard.
Who is obliged? Mainly vehicles up to 3.5 t (passenger cars, campers, motorcycles). In 2026, ANPR cameras at borders detect non-payment almost immediately, resulting in a fine sent to Poland.

⚠️ Most common mistakes (What to avoid?)
- Purchase after entry: The vignette does not work retrospectively. Cameras scan you on the first kilometer of the motorway.
- Wrong category: Buying a vignette for a passenger car (D1/2A) when driving a van or a high SUV (D2/2B).
- Number error: Entering "O" instead of "0". The system will assume your car has no payment.
