Stick'AIR and the differentiated traffic scheme

Only the French Crit'Air sticker is recognized because its requirements are identical and its numbering system is equivalent.

Yes, the requirements are the same and their numbering is therefore equivalent.

At present, we’re not aware that it’s recognized anywhere else. Any possible recognition of the Stick'AIR sticker outside Geneva is the responsibility of the authorities of the country or region concerned.

For a vehicle registered in Switzerland, it is the emissions code in section 72 of the registration document which determines the correct Stick'AIR category. If this information is inaccurate, you should contact your Service cantonal des véhicules to have it corrected.

• For a European vehicle, the required document is the European Certificate of Conformity;
• For a vehicle of a different origin: present the vehicle during opening hours at the managerial office (bureau de l’encadrement) of the technical workshop (halle technique) of the Office cantonal des véhicules.

A vehicle for the carriage of goods is identified in Switzerland by its registration document which must mention in section 19 "Vehicle type" one of the following specifications: "delivery vehicle", "truck/lorry", "motorized utility vehicle", "heavy articulated vehicle", "light motorized vehicle" or "heavy motorized vehicle".

However, a vehicle corresponding to one of the above specifications with an "ambulance", "hearse", "police van" or "motorhome" body is not regarded as a vehicle for the carriage of goods.

No. "Uncategorized" means that a vehicle does not meet the minimum requirements for displaying a Stick'AIR sticker and is therefore subject to the restrictions provided for when the differentiated traffic measure is activated.

You should contact the OCV without delay to change your appointment. You will not be charged for the cancelled appointment as long as the warning activation level was not announced more than 48 hours previously.

Normal parking regulations shall apply without modification throughout the canton in the event of an air pollution peak. It’s therefore preferable to anticipate any parking-related restrictions before the differentiated traffic measure is implemented.

It’s recommended that you present your vehicle registration document (“carte grise*) when you purchase your Stick'AIR sticker. As it’s the responsibility of the owner of a given vehicle displaying a Stick'AIR sticker to determine its category, it’s useful to have this Stick'AIR category confirmed at the point of sale.
