Question 1

What is an electronic vignette?

Accepted Answer

An electronic vignette is an electronic document that certifies the paid fee for using the republican road network in Bulgaria. It replaces the physical vignette and is linked directly to the vehicle's registration number. It does not need to be placed on the vehicle's windshield.

Question 2

How to purchase an electronic vignette?

Accepted Answer

An electronic vignette can be purchased online through the official website of the Road Infrastructure Agency or through authorized partners such as Avtovia.bg. All you need is the vehicle's registration number, country of registration and choice of validity period. Payment is made by bank card or other electronic methods.

Question 3

When is the electronic vignette activated?

Accepted Answer

The electronic vignette is activated immediately after successful payment. For weekend and weekly vignettes, activation is instant. For monthly, quarterly and annual vignettes, you can choose a start date within 30 days in advance.

Question 4

How can I check the validity of my vignette?

Accepted Answer

You can check the validity of your vignette for free through our verification service. Enter the vehicle's registration number and the system will show whether you have a valid vignette, its type and validity period. The check is synchronized in real time with the RIA database.

• Weekend (2 days) - 5,11 € (10 BGN)

Each vignette covers all paid highways in Bulgaria.

Question 6

What happens if I travel without a vignette?

Accepted Answer

If you travel on paid roads without a valid vignette, you risk receiving a compensatory charge. The amount varies depending on the type of vehicle and is significantly higher than the price of the vignette itself. We recommend always checking the validity of your vignette before traveling.

Question 7

Can I get a vignette for a foreign-registered vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, an electronic vignette can be purchased for all vehicles, regardless of the country of registration. When purchasing, you need to specify the country of registration and the vehicle's registration number. The vignette is valid for all paid roads in Bulgaria.

Question 8

Do I need to carry a document for the purchased vignette?

Accepted Answer

You don't need to carry a document for the electronic vignette as it is electronic and linked to the vehicle's registration number. The system automatically recognizes the presence of a valid vignette through cameras. However, we recommend saving the email or purchase confirmation just in case.
