    I’m not returning to CR until March, but the marchamo on my car is due by end of December. If I pay online through the bank will they be able to keep my sticker at the bank? If I wait till I return will the fine be very high?
    Thanks for any insight.

    I think I know that you won’t likely be fined at all if, when you return in March, you go to the bank and get the marchamo sticker and document before you drive the car.

    The other thing you could try is to drive to the bank and, if stopped, show the officer your passport with the entry stamp and explain that the marchamo is paid and you’re headed to pick it up.

    On the other hand, might you pay the marchamo fee online but have someone else, someone known to the bank, pick up the sticker? Or do you know the branch manager and could you get him or her to safeguard it until you return?

    If you pay via online banking (I pay at BNCR online), you will be asked at which bank branch you want to pick up the sticker and paper, and possible authorized persons. You can type in several names. Your authorized person picks up the paper and sticker and you put it in the car when you come back.
