Foreign registration numbers and payment

For foreign vehicles, state bridge and congestion charges are invoiced through Epass24. No onboard device or sticker is needed. The payment deadline is stated on the invoice.

Øresund bridge is paid separately to its operator. For a rental car, the company may charge tolls and handling fees under the rental agreement.
