What is an M-tag?
An M-tag is pre-paid radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that is affixed at the top of the front windscreen of a vehicle.
Why it is needed?
An M-tag allows a traveller to pay the toll tax automatically within seconds instead of waiting in long queues at a toll plaza. The M-tag is required for travel on the M-2 motorway for now but it is expected that it will be made mandatory for travel on all other motorways as well in the coming future.
Documents required for M-tag
Citizens only need to have an original valid CNIC and copy of vehicle registration documents to get an M-tag for the vehicle. Vehicle registration documents are not required to get an M-tag.
How to get an M-tag?
M-tags are available at special booths at the toll plazas of the M-2 motorway. Citizens can get M-tag for their vehicles within minutes in the following simple steps:
- Go to the nearest toll plaza in your vehicle.
- Provide CNIC.
- Provide vehicle details.
- Provide phone number.
- Get M-tag.
Ineligibility criteria
While citizens are allowed to get M-tag without showing their vehicle registration documents, NHMP has decided not to issue M-tag to vehicles that have applied for registration. Therefore, it is advised to get your vehicle registered at the earliest to avoid any inconvenience.
