The Algerian Gendarmerie has issued a clarification on the requirements for motorists who purchase vignettes online. According to a statement published on their "Tariki" page, motorists who buy vignettes remotely can present the electronic version downloaded on their phone during a control. This electronic version, along with the payment receipt, is sufficient for verification by authorized agents. The clarification aims to address concerns and confusion among motorists regarding the necessary documentation.
The Gendarmerie emphasizes that the electronic version of the vignette, downloaded on the motorist's phone, is a valid document. However, motorists must also keep the payment receipt and present it to authorized agents upon request. This receipt serves as proof of payment and is a necessary document during controls. By having these two documents readily available, motorists can comply with regulations and avoid potential issues.
One of the key points clarified by the Gendarmerie is that printing the vignette is not mandatory. According to Article 301 bis of the Code du timbre, motorists are not required to print the vignette purchased online. Instead, they can rely on the electronic version downloaded on their phone, provided they also have the payment receipt. This flexibility allows motorists to choose the most convenient option for managing their vignette documentation.
The Gendarmerie also addresses concerns about displaying the vignette on the vehicle. According to their clarification, motorists who purchase vignettes online are not required to display them on their windshield. The necessary documents to present during a control are the electronic version of the vignette on the phone and the payment receipt. This clear guidance helps motorists understand their obligations and avoid potential fines or penalties.
The clarification issued by the Gendarmerie aims to provide motorists with clear guidance on managing their vignette documentation.
