Mandatory AutoPASS Tag for Heavy Vehicles in Norway

All vehicles with a permitted total weight over 3500 kg used for commercial purposes on Norwegian roads must have an active AutoPASS agreement and a toll tag mounted on the windshield.

The requirement applies to both Norwegian and foreign vehicles. Drivers who drive without a valid toll tag risk getting a fine.

Each year, 5,000 foreign heavy vehicles arrive in Norway for commercial transport without an electronic toll tag. 90 percent of this traffic enters the country via the national borders at Svinesund or Ørje.

Foreign drivers will save time by having arranged an AutoPASS agreement and the corresponding toll tag in advance. Nevertheless, most foreign trucks cross the border into Norway without an AutoPASS tag installed in the vehicle.

Because the toll tag is mandatory, dedicated toll tag machines have been established at the national border crossings at Svinesund and Ørje.

An agreement can be made with any AutoPASS issuer approved in Norway:

Checklist:

  • The tag must be linked vehicle's registration number by agreement, and must be mounted clearly visible in the windshield of the motor vehicle and be placed in accordance with the installation instructions that come with the transponder.
  • The owner of the vehicle, driver or lessee is responsible for entering into an agreement and installing a toll tag.
  • Violations of the order are punishable by a fine of NOK 8,000.
  • Motorhomes, SUVs, or similar vehicles over 3.5 tons used privately are not covered by the requirement.

Registration System at Other Border Crossings

Upon entry to Norway, you can pick up an AutoPASS tag at customs locations along the border and on cross-border ferries. The transponder is not valid until you have entered into a user agreement with the issuer. When you are at the border and have received the transponder, you must enter into an agreement with SkyttelPASS via the link below.
