Car QR code sticker: let people reach you without your number
Stick a QR code on your car. If someone needs to reach you, they scan it, share their location and you get a WhatsApp alert straight away. Your phone number stays private.
What is a car QR code sticker?
A car QR code sticker is a printed QR code you stick on your car. Anyone who needs to reach you scans it with their phone camera, shares their location and sends you an alert. You receive it on WhatsApp within seconds. They never see your phone number, and they don't need to install an app.
SetuTag is made for vehicles in India: cars, scooters, motorcycles, autos, buses and trucks.
How it works
- Stick the tag on your car. Print it, or use a physical tag, and put it somewhere easy to see.
- Someone scans it. They open a simple web page, share their location and tap a ready-made message such as "Your vehicle is blocking my way", or type their own.
- You get a WhatsApp alert with their location and message, so you know where to go and why.
What people can tell you
- Your car is blocking a gate, a lane or another vehicle.
- Headlights or indicators were left on.
- A window or door is open.
- There is damage, a flat tyre or an accident.
- The car is at risk of being towed or fined.
- The alarm keeps going off.
- Someone seems to be tampering with it.
Why not just write your number on the windscreen?
A phone number on your windscreen is visible to everyone who walks past, including people who might misuse it. With a QR code, your number is never shown. Only a person who actually scans the code can alert you, and they reach you through WhatsApp, not by seeing your number. Read more about contacting a car owner without a phone number.
Optional emergency contacts
You can add up to two trusted people, such as family members. If the person scanning sees a real emergency, such as an accident or a medical situation, a separate red button lets them alert your emergency contacts instead of you. Their numbers stay hidden too. Each message sent to an emergency contact counts as one of your alerts. SetuTag is not an emergency service. In a life-threatening situation, call 112 first.

Does the person scanning need an app?
No. Any phone camera can scan the QR code. Everything happens on a simple web page in the browser.
Can the person scanning see my phone number?
No. Your number is stored encrypted and is never sent to their browser. They only see a page asking them to share their location.
What if the person has location turned off?
The page asks them to allow location access. Without it the alert cannot be sent, so they need to switch it on and try again.
How many alerts do I get?
Up to 700 for the life of the tag. Most people will never come close to using them all.
Will the sticker fade outside?
Print it on weatherproof vinyl or cover it with clear laminate so sun and rain do not wear it out.
