Those able to close the account include:

• a surviving partner/spouse
• the executor of the will
• the Enduring Guardian or Power of Attorney.

What you need

• your proof of identity
• the E-Toll Account details
• the tag/s (for an E-Toll Tag Account)
• a copy of the will for the person who has died.

You'll also need one of the following documents:

• a completed PDF form – Advice of Death
• the death certificate (original or copy)
• a newspaper death notice
• a letter from a solicitor or the NSW Trustee and Guardian advising that the person has died
• in the case of a missing person presumed deceased, a 'Presumption of Death Order' issued by the Supreme Court (original or copy).

How to close

1. Check the eligibility requirements.
2. Visit a service centre with:
   1. all the required documents.
   2. the tag/s (for an E-Toll Tag Account).
3. Pay any outstanding amounts on the account.

Refunds and payment

To avoid a non-return tag fee, return the tag/s undamaged when closing the account.

If the account is in credit, refunds will be paid by cheque to the estate within 6 to 8 weeks of the account closure.

Payment

If the account is in debit, you'll need to pay the outstanding fees when closing the account.
