The information about Vignette in Bulgaria below is not valid any more and is kept for archive purposes only
New since 01 January 2019 – vignette will be e-vignette only
As of January 1, 2019, e-vignette will be introduced in Bulgaria for the use of the national payed road network. From this date on all new vignettes will be only available as e-vignentte only and can be purchased online. There is no longer need to put a sticker on the windscreen of the vehicle
New since 2019 – weekend vignette type
There is a new weekeend vignette type since 2019 for cars only. The weekend vignette is valid from 12:00 h (noon) on Friday to 24:00 on Sunday. The price of the weekend vignette is BGN 9.00
New since 2018 – validation date on vignette sticker
For the first time the annual vignette in Bulgaria will be valid for a
period of one year from the date of it’s validation (this date is indicated on the vignette), i.e. if 2 March 2018 is indicated on the vignette, it will be valid until 1 March 2019. When buying a vignette you will be asked for the vailidation date of the sticker – you can buy the vignette in January and set the start date of the validation in February for example.
New since 2015 – plate number registration
At the time of vignette puchase the buyer will be asked for the plate number of the vehicle. This plate number is then written on the receipt for the vignette, the receipt should be kept carefully as a proof of purchase.
How to buy a vignette in Bulgaria
When you buy a vignette it should be activated for the days you will need it. A vignette is being activated by a“ punch system“ and when you buy one you will be asked about the day it should be valid from. The weekly vignette is valid for seven calendar days from the day it has been activated from. A monthly vignette is valid for 31 calender days – for example if you buy a montly vignette on 15 of July it will be valid till 15th of August. Things are different with the annual vignette. It is valid for the calender year only – this means that if you buy one annual vignette in October it will be valid untill end of December only (annual vignettes are valid now until 31. January, but this might change in the future).
The day on which the vignette sticker is purchased must not always be the day of the start of its validity. The vignette can be purchased in advance of the desire of the customer. The important thing is that the actual date of its start of validity will be punched.
Affixing the vignette sticker
A vignette sticker is only valid once it has been properly affixed to the vehicle. The mere purchase or possession of a toll sticker does NOT satisfy the requirements for proper payment of the toll. After removing the foil backing, the vignette sticker must be placed without damage directly onto the inside of the windscreen in a location (down right when facing the screen) which is clearly visible from outside the vehicle, where it can be inspected. Short-term toll stickers (1-week and 7-day stickers) must be punched prior to being affixed. Vignette stickers which are not punched or which are not affixed to the vehicle are invalid and one must expect penalties in the event of an inspection. The lower part of the vignette sticker (counterfoil with the serial number) must be retained as a proof of purchase.
New since 2012 – plate number not required any longer
Before affixing the vignette on the windscreen the plate number of the vehicle must be written on the vignette – in the field in the top right corner of the sticker. Only vignette stickers with correct plate number are valid. The sticker must be punched to mark the period of validity.
