Hello, I’ll go to Germany by car next weekend. I have bought the green badge (edit : Umweltplakette) that should be applied on the windshield. The badge has been purchased with the details of the vehicle (license plate, VIN,…).

Question : since I probably won’t go to Germany again in the coming years, can I paste the vignette onto some transparent plastic sheet and paste the plastic on the windshield ? So that I can remove it after my trip, and put it again in a few years for the next visit ? I don’t want to reduce the visibility because of another vignette. I already have the French CritAir, the Swiss, … my windshield starts to looks like those laptops full of stickers.

What’s the risk ? Since I have the vignette legally paid ?

      Sorry for referring to that green sticker as a vignette instead of the correct « Umweltplakette ». I edited the post. (You don’t deserve the downvotes)

        I still haven’t the faintest idea which vignettes were supposedly phased out in 2003, as in Germany we’ve never had any other badges, beside the orange “G-Kat” ones which were the precessors of today’s environment badges (and not widely spread at all).
